if you’re an aspiring music professional, mentorship is really important. I didn’t know anyone when I started working in music at age 18. now I’m 21 and mentorship programs were my first ever and only way to meet people honestly, they are amazing . I’ll post some
S/o to all the women in the industry sharing their stories.
A producer once told me if I didn’t sleep with him he would get me “blackballed” from the industry.
I told him idgaf & I blocked him. But, it’s not always that easy. And my heart goes out to all women who’ve been
I remember working with a producer and he explicitly stated to me that I need to be prepared to and comfortable with using my sexuality to get what I wanted as I moved forward within the industry.
This was the breakthrough I’ve been praying for, for years and months and if you know me you know this is a huugggeeee deal for me. Feeling super emotional, deeply blessed, and extremely honored. 💗

Thank you, Governor Murphy. Regardless of the time, we are completely appreciative for this opportunity. Thank you, sir! ❤️ 🙏🏽 From, a NJ Class of 2020 High School Senior
when it comes to A&R stuff you can send me any genres but for context I would say my taste is a lot of neo-soul, alt r&b, r&b, hip-hop, rap, and afrobeats
i just bought my first (very much used, and several years old, but still) car at 21!!!!! it took me years of saving but I’m so happy :) feeling blessed and excited about life! i never thought I could actually do it!!!!
Multiple rejections & a lot of tears, determination, & late nights later, I officially have a college degree from the school I’ve been dreaming of since age 13.
1 thing the past 4 years has taught me is that as long as you don’t give up, you still have a chance.
Grateful I
To be fully transparent, I’ve cried a lot of tears this week. But today’s are ones of joy.
Lately, I’ve been a bit homesick and lonely - questioning why I would decide to up & leave somewhere I feel so comfortable (home) as a teenager, to come move to a new city all by
In todays music industry climate, artists need good, strong music journalism now more than ever. The unfortunate reality is that “paid placements” are starting to become the “norm.” This is not normal. Paying people to write about you isn’t normal journalism. That’s called PR.
Good music journalism is needed now more than ever. We can not evolve into a culture that defaults to “paid” media placements. That is not real music journalism. We can not forget about real music journalism.
producers & songwriters —> make sure you’re reaching out to publishers/ publishing departments at labels. examples are UMPG, Sony Music Publishing, Warner Chappell, BMG, etc. Publishing A&Rs are who you want to pitch to primarily.
Y’all are so talented. I’m emotional listening to your music. 😭 I know how hard artists work so I really am trying my best to listen to everything and I’ll show my bosses anything I think fits for them.♥️ Thank you all for sending me your music, I’m always open to that.
hi I really want to be as respectful of everyone’s times and submissions as possible so I’m gonna try to post feedback as much as I can, thank you all for your time!
thank you all so much for your immense kindness, im very grateful and so excited and fortunate to be on this journey. I will be going through everyone’s music as much and as often as I can! all of your art is beautiful and I am privileged to be able to listen to & experience it.
I am excited to be back on my in-person panel/event hosting/moderating bag!!! 💼🎤🎙️ Can’t wait to host the Creative Networking Panel tomorrow, I just know so many gems are about to be dropped. 💎 Featuring
