Here's a little bit about this week's host and HOME A&R Coordinator:
Pal Sheldon is the founder of Artec Sync, a company that showcases a hand-selected, diverse catalog of songs curated from a global team of artists and writers. Each song is individually chosen, and Artec's in-house writers and producers also create custom music for briefs.

Recent sync placements include: Grownish on Hulu/Disney, Ruby and the Well on BYUtv, and two songs in Anora - an indie film and Palme d’Or Winner at Cannes 2024.

Pal is known for building strong relationships with artists and music supervisors, driven by the belief that a great song will always find its place to shine. Artec actively seeks new songs to represent, welcoming submissions from artists worldwide.

This is a casual, come-as-you-are hangout where people play music, talk about their creative process, and get real feedback. Artists can share their own work, and music professionals can showcase tracks from artists they represent. You can also show off your studio or just hop on to say hello and meet other creators.

Please Register HERE and you'll get a unique link to join via Zoom.

For many independent music creators, recognition comes without traction.
Visibility without follow‑through. Praise without opportunity. It can leave you questioning your work, your timing, and sometimes your worth.

You get the nod.
The repost.
The meeting that feels promising.
The compliment that lands just hard enough to raise your expectations.
And then… nothing moves.

This session of the Music Creator Mental Health Support Group creates space to talk honestly about that in‑between place. The one where you know you’re doing something right, but the door hasn’t opened yet.

Together, we’ll explore:

• The emotional impact of near‑misses and industry validation that stalls
• How hope and disappointment can coexist in creative careers
• The difference between being seen and being supported
• Ways to stay grounded, motivated, and self‑directed when momentum feels unclear

This conversation centers on resilience without denial and clarity without self‑blame. It invites creators to process frustration, protect their confidence, and reconnect with their own definition of progress in an industry that rarely explains its decisions.

This online 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.
