New to Nashville Music Industry Networking

We have so much talent in the HOME community and so many new people joining. This is your chance to get connected!

What have you been working on? Bring whatever you've got and share it in a laid-back and friendly setting. It's a casual, come-as-you-are space where everyone is welcome. Share your music, talk about your process, and discover new collaborators.

If you lean more to the industry side of things, share some music from the artists that you represent. We'd love to hear what you're working with! If you would like to share, please have a link ready because we cannot stream files - links only. Or if you just want to say something or show off your studio, that is fine too!

This event will be led by HOME's A&R Team, a specially skilled committee who select Homies to participate in collaborative writing sessions and make music that is valuable for sync licensing.

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!

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.

Join us for Meet My Music to connect with HOME’s A&R Team and add new collaborators to your network.

>> This is your moment to plug into the creative pulse of the HOME community.
Our members have been making incredible music, and now’s the time to show it off, get inspired, and connect.

>> How it Works:
You must register to attend on zoom.

The event is now open to the public to attend virtually, but only active HOME members can submit music for live feedback. If you're a member, send us something you’ve been working on - anything from a rough idea to a polished single. This is a chance to get feedback from a respected industry pro and possibly get tapped for future collaborations through HOME’s A&R team.

Not a member yet? No problem. You're still welcome to RSVP and watch the event. It’s a great way to see the creative process in action and discover emerging talent in the HOME network.

>> What to Expect:
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 RSVP and join this event HERE.

See you soon!

###

The end of the year has a way of bringing up what we’ve tried to avoid. A memory. A person. A version of ourselves we thought we’d be by now.

For music creators, grief often hides in plain sight - tucked into unreleased songs, creative droughts, or the quiet ache of unmet milestones. This time of year can amplify that grief, whether it's the loss of a loved one, a dream that didn’t unfold, or a relationship that no longer feels like home.

This session offers a soft place to land.
You don’t need to push through or be okay.
You don’t have to make the grief productive.

Together, we’ll explore:

• What grief can look like in a creative life
• How to hold space for your emotions without shutting down your art
• The balance between honoring the past and staying present
• How to move with grief, rather than around it

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.
