Lady Brain Collective

To kick off the new year, I invited some of my local lady music friends to come over and talk about their experiences pursuing careers in original music. I had been feeling a little frustrated/exhausted as a solo songwriter and knew some of my other music friends were having similar experiences. I'm friends with so many female musicians on social media, and San Diegans are good at being supportive, but I know we only see a sliver of the full story in online content. I figured it would be great to get together in person to share, support, and basically let ourselves be vulnerable in front of people who understand. The brunch was a great success and we plan on continuing to meet throughout the year. We've also established a shared Google doc & calendar that will hopefully in time be populated with lots of resources. One thing I've noticed in this industry is that people tend to be hoardy with information...my hope is to squash that vibe and pool our collective knowledge in order to make the journey a little less strenuous. If you're a female musician/artist based in San Diego who is actively pursuing a creative career, please contact me to get involved! (Shout out to one of my favorite duos The Harmaleighs for the name inspiration)
