Announcing Netflix Original Unscripted Series ‘WESTSIDE’ Plus Featurette

Meet the cast of Netflix’s new unscripted series, ‘Westside’, premiering on Netflix Nov. 9.

Westside‘ offers an unscripted and deeply personal glimpse into the journeys of nine young LA-based musicians as they follow their dreams. Each episode sheds light on their creative processes and personal struggles, interspersing cinema verité-style documentary footage with beautifully produced music videos featuring original songs.



Cameras capture the nine musicians as they develop an ensemble performance for a potential live showcase at an LA nightclub, but also follow each of them in their daily routine of multiple jobs, dwindling bank accounts and long-distance love. Throughout the season, viewers watch as one cast member get married, while others end relationships, confront substance abuse and come to terms with complicated childhoods. Despite their varied backgrounds, all of the musicians have big dreams – and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make them come true.

Cast members include: Sean Patrick Murray, Pia Toscano, James Byous, Arika Gluck, Austin Kolbe, Caitlyn Ary, Leo Gallo, Alexandra Krekorian and Taz Zavala. Find ‘Westside’ online on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. You can stream ‘Westside: The Music’ here.

About the author

There’s a lot of music out there - good music. At Essentially Pop our remit is that we cover music that deserves to be heard, with a particular focus on independent artists. That doesn't mean we won't cover your old favourites - rather we hope to give you some new favourites as well.

We no longer accept unpaid PR agency work. We believe the creative arts have value, and this includes writing. As always, we will write about artists who contact us - or who we contact - for free - but we can no longer work free of charge for PR agencies. We work hard, we put in a lot of hours writing, and we ask that you respect that. Contact us for our very reasonable rates.
