Maybe this feels familiar?
Every time you've tried to learn music tech skills before, it just didn't feel creative, you may not have felt respected and you certainly didn't feel part of a supportive, non-judgemental community. Three things that matter to you as a woman in music.
But your dreams won’t wait any longer. You've had music bubbling away in your head for months or even years, and you've seen how hard it is to grow an audience and music career without any released recordings.
You're done with relying on freebie favours from (probably male) music friends, or paying for studio recordings you don't even like. You're ready to share your creative voice on your terms with properly produced music that opens exciting doors, helps you show up professionally online and truly represents your unique creative vision.
And you'd feel so proud and limitless if you could record your music yourself.
You're in the right place.
Let's face it, if learning to record and produce your music was simply about access to information, you'd have done it by now. But we know, for many women, it's far more complex than this.
You learn best in a safe and respectful space - one where the challenges you've faced in music so far are held with compassion and understanding and any current gaps in your knowledge are seen as opportunities for growth, not a lack of competency or passion. And you want the tech to be in service of your creativity - not the other way around.
That's why, at the core of all our work sits our unique Evolved Music Tech Method, which merges our three core pillars: Community, Artistry and Respect. We help women, just like you, gain the vital recording and production skills they need to keep up and show up in the 21st Century music industry.
