New to Nashville Music Industry Networking

Meet My Music is a virtual studio hang, hosted on Zoom, where music creators gather to share work, talk process, and connect. Every month, HOME members submit tracks for live feedback from Kenny Mullins while the broader creative community joins the conversation in real time.

Kenny is a genre-bending songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist with 100 million+ streams across his projects. His work lives on artist releases and across major film and television platforms including Hulu, Netflix, and The Kardashians, spanning pop, country, R&B, soul, reggae, and sync. He's a member of Bopper Music and Sonify Music, endorsed by Fender Guitars and Native Instruments, and a member of ASCAP. He knows what makes a track land and he'll tell you honestly.

Jump in, participate in the conversation, share your thoughts in the chat, and hear how a working professional breaks down what's working and what isn't. If you like what you experience, HOME membership is how you get your music in front of Kenny directly.

Everyone who attends must register in advance. Your Zoom link arrives by email once you do.

Making music independently is one of the lonelier things a person can do. The self-doubt, the financial pressure, the gap between what you're creating and what's landing. Most creators carry all of it alone because there's nowhere else to put it.

This is that place.

Every month, music creators gather virtually to talk honestly about what the work actually costs: the 2am moments when the session didn't go the way you needed it to and you're not sure what you're doing this for anymore.
You don't have to share anything. Listening counts just as much as talking.
Hosted by — a singer, songwriter, and producer who moved to Nashville alone from rural Canada and spent years finding her footing in a city where she knew no one for thousands of miles. She understands this conversation from the inside.

All participants agree to a confidentiality statement. What's shared here stays here.

This session is offered free to the public thanks to the Hot Topic Foundation, 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.
