Music Production for Women (MPW) has announced a full day of music masterclasses in London for female and non-gender confirming musicians this week.
The event, titled “Master Your Music – Live”, will be held at the University of Westminister. It will feature sessions with the likes of MPG award-winning vocal producer, Ramera Abraham, Ableton Certified trainer and Youtuber, LNA, MPW’s award-winning founder and CEO, Xylo Aria.
To ensure accessibility, the event, backed by Sonnox, Distrokid, Neumann, Kilohearts and the University of Westminster, will be free for anyone to attend until tickets are exhausted.
This year’s event was organised due to popular demand after the same event last year attracted almost 200 artists to it.
Event attendee from last year, Alieksandra Kritskaia, said, “Amazing knowledge sharing! I obtained more knowledge during these hours of (the) “Master Your Music” event, than during the last few months!”.
