Our Listening Sessions
Grammy Award Winning Industry Guest Listeners provide professional supportive feedback to our artists at RAD workshops, Listening Sessions, Industry Panels and Discussion Sessions.
RAD holds regular listening sessions in which our producers and artists have an opportunity to share their work in a safe and supportive environment. The sessions offer professional feedback and suggestions for improving work. RAD listening sessions are open by invitation to other non-RAD producers who may wish to share their work and get feedback as well.
