kinsome is…

…A STUDIO WHERE WOMEN AND TRANS+ ARTISTS CAN WRITE, PRODUCE, AND MAKE MUSIC ONLY THEY CAN MAKE, IN A SPACE THAT FEELS LIKE HOME.

A room corner with a yellow sofa, a decorative pillow with a brown and orange pattern, a green potted plant, a wall with square geometric wooden accents, and a wall-mounted light fixture with two cylindrical wooden lights. Sunlight streams through a nearby window, casting shadows on the wall.

OUR VALUES

belonging

You don’t have to shrink, change, or prove yourself.

craft

The space and gear are there to support your talent.

community

Kinsome is a network, not just a room.

accessibility

We’re here for the people the industry leaves out.

WHAT WE DO

memberships

We offer memberships with flexible access. Use the studio as much or as little as you want with a Flex membership – or go all in with a Residency membership. We want Kinsome to be your home, too.

events

Our events give members and others a way to make community, meet collaborators, and feel inspired. Stay on the lookout for our next camp, listening session, or workshop.

the founder

HI, I’M GWEN (she/they)

I was tired of feeling out of place in the studio.

Studios should be inspiring, welcoming, and accessible, and so often they’re… not.

Kinsome is designed for artists and producers who feel like guests in rooms they should own.

When I’m not at Kinsome, I’m working on my own music, teaching at universities across London, or playing with my dog, Cannoli.
