Chelsea Hartley, who just finished the recent South American leg of Bad Bunny’s World’s Hottest Tour, took some time to speak with PLSN about her current work as a Production Coordinator. Besides Bad Bunny, she has also worked on Gwen Stefani’s Just a Girl concert residency at the Zappos Theater in Las Vegas as well as toured with Karol G in 2021 and the New Kids on the Block for their Mixtape tour in 2022. Her tips for success in this unique backstage niche, where she takes care of logistics and reports daily to the Production Manager: “Patience, focus, and just loving it, because if you don’t love what you’re doing, it’s not going to work out. It is long hours and lots of different details that require attention all the time. You always have to be alert and able to solve problems quickly and efficiently.”
