Shell Zenner: How to get your music heard

Join journalist, radio presenter and producer Shell Zenner for a masterclass in getting your sounds into people’s ears – and making sure that they listen. Drawing upon her experience championing new music for BBC Introducing and elsewhere, Shell shares her insider tips on how to reach more fans, present your talents to the media and know what producers and promoters are really looking for.

The seminar is the eighth of 12 online events featuring musical artists and audio professionals running throughout 2021 as part of Level Up In Audio. This YSWN project aims to inspire, grow and sustain the skills and creative opportunities of women and people of minority genders who have an interest in music and technology and whose work and professional development have been curtailed by the coronavirus pandemic.

The seminar will take place via Zoom; attendees will receive a private link through the email used for booking in advance of the event. Tickets are free and space is limited. Please get in touch by emailing info@yorkshiresoundwomen.com if you have any access requirements that would make it easier for you to enjoy this event.

Shell will speak for around 60 minutes, with around 30 minutes open for audience questions and discussion.

IMPORTANT: As part of YSWN’s Level Up in Audio project this seminar series is intended for an audience of women and people of minority genders – we ask that you respect this when booking tickets and do not deny someone else a place if you are not among this group. We plan to record the seminar for sharing online with a wider audience at a later date.
