Prolific singer-songwriters Meghan Trainor, Jhené Aiko and Charli XCX to personally select up-and-coming songwriters and producers to utilize recording studios.
On the heels of its inaugural Secret Genius Awards, honoring creative forces behind the year’s biggest hits, Spotify continues its mission to celebrate the songwriting and producing a community with the official launch of Secret Genius Studios. In honor of Women’s History Month, Spotify has selected three prolific female songwriters to curate the studios for the next three months – Meghan Trainor for April, Jhené Aiko for May and Charli XCX for June. Each artist will hand-pick emerging producers and songwriters to utilize the recording studios, providing them with a space to continue to create, with more artists to come later this year.
Secret Genius Studios, located in Los Angeles, Nashville, Atlanta, and London, are recording studio rooms intended to offer up-and-coming songwriters access to the latest equipment and time with a seasoned engineer, where anyone can apply via the online portal Secret Genius Studios and receive session time, free of charge.
“I’m so down to work with Spotify on their Secret Genius project,” Charli XCX explains. “My most favorite thing about what I do is collaboration, particularly in the studio, so getting a chance to offer spaces for fellow creatives to work and record feels cool and special. I like making creative hubs, whether that’s in writing camps I set up or literally in my own house. It feels good to be around people who wanna make music and experiment. It’s gonna be a great project.”
