Spotify genres, Chris Greenwood Spotify course, Mixer Mixer reminder. (Originally sent 9/25/23) 

Hey all,

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!!

Mixer Mixer reminder. Also, we'll dive into Spotify genres. (Originally sent 8/21/23) 

Hey everyone,

A quick reminder that we meet tomorrow, Tuesday, August 22, at the recording studio at TAF. Our meeting starts at 730pm.

In addition to listening and encouraging each other with our mixes we'll also do a shallow dive into musical genres. I've learned about some really cool tools to help you identify your own genre and other artists in your genre and I wish to share them with you. This is really helpful when you are releasing music on streaming services like Spotify.

See you tomorrow!!!
