A&R:
Meet Meredith Chinn
30+ years in music. Major-label A&R experience. A career spent discovering and developing artists.
Meredith Chinn has spent more than three decades working in A&R across major record labels and music publishing.
Her career includes positions at Warner Bros. Records, Atlantic Records, and Red Bull Records, along with founding Fingerpaint Records.
She’s worked with artists and songwriters including Beck, AWOLNATION, Greg Kurstin, Mikky Ekko, John Feldmann, Twin Atlantic, and Max Frost.
In 2021, Meredith received a plaque recognizing AWOLNATION’s “Sail” reaching Diamond status.
She’s also a voting member of The Recording Academy.
Now Meredith is bringing that experience directly to independent artists, one song at a time.
Discovered and developed:
The Demo Pile Never Really Went Away. It Just Became an Inbox.
It used to be cassette tapes and CDs mailed to record labels.
You’d send your music, hope someone listened, and wait.
Most of the time, you never heard back. You didn’t even know if anyone pressed play.
Today, it’s Spotify links, emails, and DMs.
Different format. Same problem.
You send your music out into the world and wonder if anyone who could give you real feedback will ever hear it.
This time, you don’t have to wonder.
For $47, Meredith Chinn will personally listen to your entire song and tell you what she thinks, on video and in writing.
No guessing whether she listened. No waiting for a response that may never come.
You send your song.
Meredith listens.
You hear back.
Hear What a Real A&R Thinks of Your Music. Straight From Her.
For $47, Meredith will personally listen to one of your released songs on Spotify.
Not part of it.
Not a quick skim.
The entire song. Start to finish.
Then you'll receive two things.
1. A Personal Video Read From Meredith
Meredith records a video specifically about your song.
You'll get to watch and hear her explain what she thinks.
What's working.
What stands out.
What she'd change.
This isn't a generic video about songwriting or the music business.
It's Meredith talking about your song.
2. Her Written Song Read
You'll also receive her feedback in writing.
Including:
- What's working in your song.
- What she'd change.
- Whether she'd release it as is or rework it.
So you can read through her thoughts and come back to them whenever you want.
