Female Frequency Hosts a Twitter Chat

Twitter chats continue to grow in popularity within the Twitterverse. The variety of subjects that can be found to discuss is amazing. A chat can boost engagement with customers, influencers, and like-minded individuals all over the world. That’s why I love Twitter chats and participate in a handful of different chats myself. From time to time I even get to host one. But if you have never heard of a Twitter chat or participated in one, let me provide you with a quick rundown.

A Twitter chat takes place on Twitter (of course). Each chat covers a different topic, providing knowledge on a specific subject or platform, and has an associated hashtag. For example: #ChatSnap touches on all things related to the SnapChat app. #TwitterSmarter covers tools and techniques to help expand reach and engagement on Twitter. #ggchat targets indie music artists around the world, focusing on everything indie.  Some chats take place weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or even bi-monthly – each group is different. Usually, a chat will last anywhere from 30mins to an hour, with a designated host leading the charge.

ffreqFemale Frequency, a sister company of ours here at SoundGirls, is a collective dedicated to empowering women and girls through the creation of music that is entirely generated by women. They have started a new weekly chat, hosted by Angela Sheik every Monday at 8pm EST. So far, the chat has covered topics on recording preparation and choosing/working with a producer. You can participate in the weekly chat by using the hashtag #ffchat. I look forward to seeing some new and familiar faces during next week’s #ffchat.

An Interview with Dani Mari of Female Frequency

 

 

Sometimes you are introduced to people who have a major effect on the direction you take in life. I was recently introduced to Dani Mari, founder of Female Frequency, a “music collective dedicated to empowering women & girls in the industry through the creation of media that is entirely female generated”. (more…)

Meet Female Frequency

11846575_488427751334833_7435856588267564587_nFemale Frequency is a musical collective dedicated to empowering women and girls in the music industry through the creation of media that is entirely female generated. Female Frequency started when singer/songwriter Dani Mari wished to work with a female producer for her next album. Dani soon realized that female producers and female owned recording studios were rare and hard to find. Dani eventually reached out to Women in Music, a professional organization dedicated to supporting, cultivating, and recognizing the talents of women in all areas of the music industry to find a female producer. Through WIM, Dani was introduced to I Am Snow Angel. Working together I Am Snow Angel and Dani came up with the idea of producing an all female recording project.  Every aspect of the recording project will be female produced. I Am Snow Angel suggested Claire London as another female to collaborate with and Female Frequency was born.

FF is currently raising money to record a five-song EP, with the long-term goal of supporting other females in additional collaborative projects in the future. FF will donate a percentage of funds raised to Women’s Audio Mission, a non-profit organization that teaches music technology to women and girls. In addition, FF is a current finalist in the Ovation TV/Rockethub “Creative Studio” initiative. If selected as a winning project, FF will be awarded an additional $5,000, which will be used to fund FF women’s workshops and classes on various topics, including audio production, beatmaking, singing, songwriting, and music marketing.

Women in music – and particularly in electronic music – have often honed their craft in the shadows of their male counterparts, who account for the vast majority of sound engineers, producers and electronic musicians. FF intends to challenge the status quo by giving women the opportunity to carry out every aspect of the music-making process, including but not limited to writing, instrumentation, arrangement, singing, audio production and the creation of accompanying visual media. FF aspires to boost morale and confidence, provide fruitful collaborative opportunities and, ultimately, increase female representation across all sectors of the music industry.
