Over the last decade, women only accounted for 2.8% of the producers and 12.7% of the songwriters on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End Chart (NPR). If you’re reading this, you most likely are working to change this current reality – to make the music industry more accessible and inclusive. So many of our favorite songs are, in fact, created by talented women – and they definitely should receive more recognition!
This Saturday, we will get to meet some of those producers, songwriters, and audio engineers. We’ll discuss the ins-and-outs to making a hit song, tips + tricks to elevating your production, and conclude with listening to some of YOUR music!
—
LISTENING SESSION
The event will be concluded with a listening session. 6-8 artists will have a chance to play their music in front of a live audience and will receive constructive criticism from our speakers.
To be considered for music play in the listening session, artists must purchase a SUBMISSION REVIEW ticket and submit one song LINK (preferably Spotify) by Friday 10/7 at 5pm ET with subject line “SATURDAY SUBMISSION” to info@finessed.media.
Our team will screen your music for relevancy to audience, quality, and how beneficial the feedback will be. If your submission is not accepted, you will receive a full refund. Submissions that are accepted will have 1:30 to 2 min of their song played in front of the audience.
Must be a Finessed Media VIP Career Development member or purchase a SUBMISSION REVIEW ticket for consideration.
Obtain membership here.
Songs will be reviewed before the listening session and your purchase will be refunded if the song is not accepted.

Alexis Kesselman is a gifted and prolific platinum songwriter, producer, composer, vocalist and rising star in both the LA and New York music scenes. She is a natural-born storyteller whose superpower is intuitively weaving any story or concept into sharply impassioned lyrics, unexpected yet striking melodies and left-of-center production.
As a songwriter, her recent successes include Joji’s Spotify Global and US number one and Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 single “Glimpse of Us”. Other cuts include “Doughnut,” for Kpop group Twice, which went Gold in Japan, as well as “F is For Friends” for Tainy, Trevor Daniel and Becky G for the latest Spongebob Movie. As a producer, Alexis has crafted her own distinct and exciting sonic identity, which can be heard Grace Vaanderwaal’s latest single “Lion’s Den” among other projects. Along with writing and producing for other artists, Alexis developed her own artist project under the name “Idarose” through which she has amassed a dedicated fanbase and is nearing two million streams on her self-produced breakout single “When I Don’t Have You”.
Alexis’ versatility allows her to make moves in the sync world such as writing and producing a musical number for the upcoming Jonathan Van Ness Netflix show, as well as in the theater world, co-writing a new musical with collaborator Jake Weinstein. She has also scored multiple short films and recently co-wrote with Jon Mills and sang the ending theme to the award-winning international short film Wings. She is signed jointly to Warner Chappell and EP Entertainment for publishing.

Intro Class :: Intro to Atmos with Kia Shavon
2022-10-08 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | England
Join Kia Shavon for a free class exploring Dolby Atmos Music fundamentals.

Join Kia Shavon for an introduction to Dolby Atmos Music. Participants will learn what makes Atmos different from surround sound and what you need to start mixing in this new, rapidly emerging immersive format.
This beginner-friendly class will provide students with an understanding of Atmos and the techniques used in creating high quality mixes. Kia will also lead students in an exploration of equipment that will enhance your mixes.
P﻿rerequisites: While this is a basic introduction to Atmos, participants should have an understanding of common mixing concepts (such as panning, EQ, and reverb).
Omni Intro Classes are FREE and open to all genders.
About the teacher:
Kia “The Mix Artist” Shavon is an NYC based audio engineer with over 10 years of recording, mixing and mastering experience. Throughout her career, she’s mixed over 1,000 songs while working with hundreds of artists worldwide (A$AP Rocky, Safaree, Lil’ Pump, Slick Rick, Foxy Brown, NBA Entertainment, NFL Network, to name a few). Kia holds a Bachelor of Science in Music Engineering Technology from Hampton University.
T﻿his class is presented in partnership with Focusrite Pro. Focusrite Red iusrieRed interfaces are packed with tons of I/O, making them the perfect centerpiece for Atmos studios. The RedNet R1 controls every aspect of Red interfaces and was designed specifically for immersive workflows, allowing the user to fold-down mixes for checking, mute/solo speakers, and more. Because the I/O of the Red interface and the configuration of the RedNet R1 controller are completely customizable within Focusrite’s RedNet Control software, the pair creates endless possibilities for immersive music production from recording to mastering.

Get Set Session: Glasgow Americana Festival
2022-10-07 15:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London) | Scottish Music Centre Ltd, 100 Candleriggs, Glasgow, Glasgow, G1 1NQ, United Kingdom
Discover how Help Musicians can support you in getting going on your next creative endeavour, and how to get started on your application.

This session will guide you through the types of activities for which you can receive support, the application process, common mistakes and top tips, equipping you to write the best possible application.
Who is running this session?
Help Musicians wants a world where musicians thrive. As an evolving charity now in its centenary year, and following a year of extreme need, it has made the major move to remove deadlines from its creative financial support; ensuring musicians across the UK have more opportunities to develop, create and release on their own terms.
What will happen on the day?
The session will consist of a presentation from the Help Musicians team, followed by a Q&A.
When can I begin my application for creative support?
Whenever you’re ready! The removal of deadlines and move to always available support allows creators to apply for help towards developing their skills, recording, releasing and promoting their music whenever they need it, 365 days a year. This signals the end of waiting for ‘rounds’ to be open and meeting application deadlines. Every application will receive an outcome within 10 weeks, no matter the day, week or month.
Why remove the deadlines?
Financial barriers shouldn’t stop a musician reaching their creative potential. Removing deadlines from our creative support means creators always have somewhere to turn to when they’re ready to progress their music, career or skillset.
