>> 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!

Meet My Music: Virtual Studio Hang & Sync Deconstruction

Mon, Feb 16 · 6:00 PM CST

>> Sync isn’t guesswork. There are patterns. There are decisions that move the needle.
This session is built to help you see them... and use them.

In this two-part experience, Mimi McCarley will guide creators through a hands-on look at what makes a sync placement work and how to sharpen your own music with sync potential in mind.

>> Part One: Sync Deconstruction
We’ll break down a real sync placement from top to bottom. Arrangement, tone, dynamics, lyrics, tempo, mix. You’ll hear what mattered most and why it landed. Learn what serves the scene, supports the story, and earns the placement. No trend-chasing required.

>> Part Two: Member Track Workshop
Active HOME members only, this is your chance to bring a song in progress. Something you think could work for sync. We’ll listen, dissect, and offer feedback grounded in what we just learned. The goal is creative clarity: shape your song into something placement-ready.

>> Register and RSVP if you want to:

• Observe the sync breakdown and learn from real-world examples
• Understand what supervisors and licensors are listening for
• Watch how songs are reshaped in real time to better fit the brief

Only active HOME members can submit music, but the session is open to the public. For security purposes, everyone must register through the Zoom link.

Please RSVP and join this event HERE.

Women's Music Industry Support Group: Self-Love

Mon, Feb 16 · 7:00 PM CST

HOME - Helping Our Music Evolve, 615 Main St g1, Nashville, TN, US

In an industry that rewards overextension, self-love becomes a radical choice.

The Women’s Music Industry Support Group is a monthly, confidential gathering for women across all corners of the music industry to connect, reflect, and support one another.

This month, we’re turning toward how we take care of ourselves in this industry. Not as a concept, but as a lived practice. Together, we’ll explore the inner voice we carry into our work, the standards we hold ourselves to, and the moments we push past our own needs instead of listening. We’ll reflect on what it might look like to meet ourselves with more compassion, without guilt or apology.

This is a space for real conversation and quiet honesty. A place to arrive as you are, without performance or explanation. To support that, all participants are required to sign a confidentiality agreement, ensuring that what’s shared in the room remains private.

>> For location and parking information, please visit homeformusic.org/location.

The Women’s Music Industry Support Group is a confidential monthly space where female-identifying members of the music industry can gather, share their experiences, and find support, connection, and understanding.

This session is offered free to the public thanks to HOME - Helping Our Music Evolve and the Helping Music Foundation. Scroll down to learn more about these organizations.
