FACTOR 101: Info Session for Women & Gender Minorities

disability interviews music Nov 29, 2020

"Factor 101: Infor Session for Women & Gender Minorities / 27 November 2020, 6:30pm to 8:30pm EST / FACTOR Canada"

A year ago, I received my very first FACTOR grant - a humble $2000 for the marketing of my music. With that grant, I created the music video for my song Addicted and finally released my fourth album, Beautiful Alchemy (which is the soundtrack to Teagan Lance's film of the same name).

Because I was a grant recipient, FACTOR contacted me to take part in their information session for women and gender minorities! This session focused on grant writing, marketing, work/life balance and more.

If you missed the live info session, watch the replay on YouTube below!

Hi, I'm Renée! (they/them)

I'm a queer, nonbinary, and disabled singer, songwriter and gender-affirming voice teacher.

I've been a voice teacher for over twelve years, I have four full-length albums out, and I have degrees in physics, jazz, and songwriting.

I love creating, I love figuring things out, but most of all, I love helping people.
