Fred again.. is to lead a two-and-a-half hour session at the inaugural Trans+ Future Sounds workshop at London’s famous Abbey Road Studios, an event celebrating trans+ music creators.
Presented by Trans Creative Collective (TCC) and We Are Moving The Needle – an organisation which campaigns for more women, non-binary and trans representation among music producers and engineers, founded by Grammy-winner Emily Lazar – the Abbey Road event will see Fred again.. joined by an “extraordinary lineup of artists and industry leaders” for an afternoon of mentorship, skill-building, community and networking.
The free event is the first in a series, which will bring together 15 trans+ songwriters, 15 trans+ producers and 15 industry professionals spanning the spheres of production, songwriting and industry.
In keeping with the Trans Creative Collective’s ethos of inclusivity not exclusivity, the Abbey Road event is completely free to attend. All genders are welcome, with priority given to trans and queer creatives, organisers say.
“Since we started TCC in 2021, our whole mission has been to make space for trans+ creatives to thrive, not just survive, in the music industry,” says co-founder charlieeeee.
“Trans+ Future Sounds – made possible alongside our incredible partners We Are Moving The Needle – feels like the fullest expression of that yet. Getting to welcome our community into Abbey Road, one of the most iconic recording spaces in the world, and to have artists like Fred again.. want to give his time and expertise to that community is genuinely moving.
“We want every trans+ producer, songwriter and creator who walks through those doors on Friday to feel celebrated. Because they are forging new ground, and we’ll be behind them every step of the way.”
The Trans+ Future Sounds event at Abbey Road Studios will take place on Friday, 19 June from 3-8pm. Abbey Road Studios is located at 3 Abbey Road, St John’s Wood, London, NW8 9AY.
