Creators share what they are working on, talk through their process, and hear perspectives that push their craft forward. HOME’s A&R Team keeps an ear out for original songs that could lead to sync or publishing opportunities. Original work carries priority because that is what our industry partners can champion. AI assisted ideas are welcome for discussion, though they are not always usable for those types of deals.

### Be better. Go faster. Do more.
But when you’ve faced loss, disappointment, or burnout, those demands ring hollow.
This session invites music creators to begin the year by listening inward instead of sprinting forward. Together, we’ll reflect on what actually matters now, not what used to, and name goals that feel like a true fit for the season you’re in, not someone else’s timeline or industry mold.
This is the moment to check in with yourself.
Name what drives you.
Name what drains you.
Decide what’s worth carrying and what can be released.
Set your next chapter in motion; choose what stays and what goes. Let your goals reflect who you are now, not who you were trying to prove yourself to be.
The vision becomes clearer when it’s grounded in truth. Start there.
This support group is a confidential, come-as-you-are space for music creators to talk about the pressures we carry, listen if that’s what we need, and find solidarity with others who understand. You are welcome to share, or simply sit in quiet community. This is not a therapy session.
All participants agree to a confidentiality statement. What’s shared in the session stays in the session.
This session is offered free to the public thanks to HOME – Helping Our Music Evolve and the Helping Music Foundation. If you’re able, consider making a donation to help keep these gatherings available to the creators who rely on them.2 attendees
•OnlineMeet My Music: Virtual Studio Hang
Online>> Share your sound. Find your people.
Meet My Music is where you share your music, talk about your creative process, and find collaborators who take music seriously.
HOME’s A&R Team listens with intention. They’re looking for Homies to invite into writing rooms and sync-focused sessions. This is your chance to make that connection. This session is open to members and non-members.
Whether you’re a producer, songwriter, artist, or industry rep, you belong here. Every voice adds to the momentum. If you’ve been building something, share it. If you’re between projects, come for the inspiration.
The format is casual. The impact is real.
A note on music share time: We can’t guarantee everyone will have the chance to play a song. Arrive early and have a streaming link ready (no file uploads). If the queue fills up, stay engaged. The insight you gain from hearing others, the feedback exchanged, and the support you show still count. Listening with intention builds community and makes you a better creator.
RSVP, come through, and make your presence count.
Please join this event HERE. Due to protective measures, we've moved these meetups into our HOME community app. Once you click through to join us, you'll be asked to create your FREE Account in the HOME App to join the hang! See you soon!

Women's Music Industry Support Group: Vision Board Crafting Session
HOME - Helping Our Music Evolve, 615 Main St g1, Nashville, TN, USA new year always brings a mix of hope, pressure, and possibility.
Before everything speeds up again, we’re gifting ourselves a couple hours to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and imagine the year ahead in community with others.
During this collaborative vision board crafting night, ask yourself:
- How do I want to feel this year?
- What am I calling in?
- What would “aligned success” look like for me (not the industry telling me) this year?
- What feels exciting or expansive right now, even if it scares me?
- Who inspires me and why?
- What do I want to remember on the days I feel discouraged?
Bring a canvas and any collage materials you want to use or share. We’ll also have supplies available for anyone who needs them.
BYOB and any snacks that bring out your joy.
Dress however you feel comfortable. Come as you are. Let’s create the year we want together.
