What is an Online Artist Session?
Open Artist Sessions (now Online Artist Sessions!) are monthly, intimate and informal Q&A's for FAC PRO members with an experienced artist or industry figure. They aim is to provide education, advice and help to nurture our artist community. They are free and exclusively for our PRO members. Spaces are limited, so we recommend signing up quickly to secure a spot.

As a songwriter, Rhiannon has co-written with artists, as well as writing for brand clients such as Sky TV and Vision Direct.
