With a knack for deconstructing rock and pop conventions, St. Vincent expanded on her passion for guitar and grunge music to create uniquely original alt sounds, introducing her genre-bending vibes with her first studio album, Marry Me—an adventuresome mix of rock, electronic, and jazz—in 2007. She continued to challenge musical boundaries with her follow-ups, managing to land both critical and commercial acclaim.
In 2009, she made her chart debut with the album Actor and went on to become the first solo female artist in 20 years to win a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album with St. Vincent in 2014. Her fifth album, the critically acclaimed MASSEDUCTION, brought her first Billboard Top 10 song and another Grammy Award, this time for Best Rock Song.

I love this?
I need a mentor like you
Tension and release, like poetry.
AWESOME!!!!!!
I haven’t even bought this masterclass and I still want a refund
"Songwriting is tension and release" what a grandiose and vacuous statement.
the smile she makes when she says GOT THAT ? is what made me fall in love with this lady. that is a shot right to my heart. there is an awesome young lady in there…
Queen
Who’s st Vincent
She is a great artist and she is so right about the process of writing music.
this is the only add i never skip
“Tapas the mornin’ to Jah!”
She's using too much energy to try and come across as creative, quirky and sophisticated… She comes across as cringy, tired and repressed lol
Not hating (I don´t even know her enough), but knowing how to make music is like 5% or less of actually becoming a high paid professional in the field.
I LOVE YOU

I wonder who she eats.
KEVIN PARKER MASTERCLASS PLEASE KEVIN PARKER MASTERCLASS PLEASE KEVIN PARKER MASTERCLASS PLEASE KEVIN PARKER MASTERCLASS PLEASE KEVIN PARKER MASTERCLASS PLEASE KEVIN PARKER MASTERCLASS PLEASE KEVIN PARKER MASTERCLASS PLEASE
Pleasantly unexpected.
Great, but we need a Jack White's Masterclass
hate your spam
Can Someone explain me How the payment does, please. I'd sing up but I'm not understand how it does
Can creativity be taught by someone? I thought it should come from one's own mind.

Getting Ellen Page vibes from this part.
Don't know why.
She made it!! My wish and dreams came true ??
digging it……kev/indianapolis
I apreciate that Mr. Carlos Santana promote this online tutorial. Have success!
There is a mosquito flying around my computer screen. Let me sponsor a video for you 😀
Cool chick!
I’m not a musician but I watched this in one sitting (easily!) and Annie/St. Vincent had sooo many lovely nuggets of info as well as a great knowledge of music. I could’ve watched so many more hours of this masterclass??
Holy crap, St. Vincent is one of my favorite artists so this is so surreal, sign me up
-I don’t know anything about making music nor have ever considered it
-I have never used masterclass even for my own interests
-I want to watch this just because I love St. Vincent
One of the best rock artists of recent times, she is talented I like her work
perfect birthday present for myself!
Can we have another writer for masterclass?
Can we have a masterclass for painting with like George Condo or Cecily Brown ?
everyone say it with me: oh my fucking god
Isn’t the point of this masterclass program to have the best and the most prominent teachers? No one knows or cares about this person.
Charismatic, creative, self-confident… Should be interesting.
Jodie Comer needs to teach an acting class!!!
Edit* This isn't specifically about St. Vincent and went on a long tangent sorry to bog up the comments thread!
Hate to rant, but the last thing we need is more people interested in being generic pop-music creators. Last 20-25 years of music has seen it's corporatisation, with electronic music and especially the generalised pop and nu-metal genres increasingly killing music as an art form. Too much, "how do I sound like x artist", "how do I hit these high notes" and not enough about the substance, melodies or emotion. I personally love the early 90's scene, wasn't about being perfect it was about being human, vocals as well. At least I can respect many other periods of music prior to this period. Today it is more concerned with the looks, financial priorities of the label, and the writing teams for modern music rather than the local bands. Some masterclasses in authenticity are more neccessary atm imo.
I literally screamed as soon as I saw this upload. Awesome!
I do songs for fun tbrh. I want to share my art and story to people. Maybe some can relate to them. But I just want to ask, to all those who are reading this comment, how much of delay should I do before posting a new song? Like should it be 6 months once or what?
