Upcoming Events will be shared here

We are currently seeking Event Partners in LA to help us bring
these events to life!

Types of Events we plan to create include, but are not limited to...

Open Mic Nights

These events create a supportive environment for emerging talent to showcase original material or covers in front of an audience.

We select performers from submissions or raffles, giving them the chance to perform one song live. This performance is typically with 1 vocalist + an acoustic guitar/piano or a backing track.

This format makes every event exciting and unique, while also creating opportunities for new talent to be discovered.

Open mics offer more than just a stage—they’re your chance to gain live performance experience, test new material, grow your fanbase, and connect with fellow creatives. In this guide, we’re spotlighting the top music open mic spots in Los Angeles where you can shine.

Industry Networking Mixers

Networking-focused gatherings designed to connect people in the music, entertainment, and creative industries.

This type of event involves background music playing as people chat and connect over food and drinks.

Establishing friendships and relationships with people who have shared interests/professions.

Artist Showcases

Highlighting a curated list of solo performers giving short live performances usually 1-3 songs per artist.

These showcases emphasize raw talent, live vocals, and intimate performances.

Pass the Aux/Listening Event

These teractive gatherings where attendees share and play music by literally “passing the aux cord” or queueing up songs.

Artists get the chance to play their demos or released tracks in front of everyone, sparking real-time reactions and conversation.

These events create a collaborative, discovery-based atmosphere that highlights independent artists, allows unreleased songs to be tested, and builds stronger connections through shared music experiences.

College Student Events

College students partner with Red Velvet Studios to bring music industry culture directly onto their campus.

Together, we collaborate to launch a student-led organization that hosts events, workshops, and mixers using school spaces and facilities.

Students take the lead in shaping the vision, while we provide mentorship, resources, and connections to artists and industry professionals.

This partnership can include Red Velvet Studios coming to campus to speak, mentor, give interviews, or co-host events in collaboration with student organizations and brands.

By working side by side, the student builds leadership and community, while Red Velvet Studios helps bridge the gap between campus life and the real world professional music industry.

Event Sizes

Spaces should comfortably fit at least 50 people,
with an ideal upper limit of around 300 guests.

Talent

We are directly connected to the music and entertainment community, with established contacts who can provide performers to entertain and put on live shows.

The talent not only draws people to attend but also creates opportunities for artists to showcase their music and abilities. This increased audience engagement benefits brands and businesses by giving them exposure to a lively, culturally connected community and aligning their name with authentic creative experiences.

Guest List

Creating a curated guest list is one of the most important parts of producing a successful event. We handle this process by inviting a mix of influencers, actors, entertainers, artists, and LA’s cultural tastemakers — the city’s ‘who’s who.’ This ensures the event not only has strong attendance but also attracts the right audience, bringing together people who add value, credibility, and visibility. By cultivating a guest list that blends talent with influence, we elevate the experience for attendees while maximizing exposure for our brand partners and collaborators.

Having influencers, actors, entertainers, and LA’s cultural tastemakers at your event isn’t just about filling the room — it’s about impact. When these people attend, they naturally share their experiences online, post photos and videos, and spark conversations with their audiences. This creates organic marketing and social buzz around the event, positioning your brand in front of thousands of engaged followers. Beyond social media, their presence also boosts credibility, making your business look connected, relevant, and culturally in-demand. By inviting LA’s ‘who’s who’ to your event, we help turn the experience into both a marketing moment and a long-term promotional asset for your brand.

What does Partnership mean?

A true partnership means working together so both sides gain value.

It’s about creating opportunities that benefit everyone involved.

Part of the problem in LA is the "pay to play" culture and the barriers to entry that make community building difficult.

Ways Partnership Can Work:

Revenue Share & Ticket Sales – Instead of fixed costs, profits are shared fairly based on results and attendance.

Marketing & Promotion – Both partners gain exposure through co-branding, social media, and community reach.

Production & Experiences – We bring sound, talent, MCs, creative content, and promotion that elevate the event, while partners gain visibility and new customers.

Long-Term Collaboration – Each event strengthens the relationship, building momentum for future opportunities.

Partnership is NOT as simple as "looking for space for rent"
(such as peerspace).


Partnership is about combining resources, audiences, and creativity
so that both sides win.

Ticketed Events

If an event is ticketed, we can create a profit split from ticket sales with the venue. If a venue or space requires payment to use the location based on ticket sales and attendance outcomes, rather than an upfront rental fee. This is in contrast to a Community Host (doesn't require any payment at all) This ensures both the venue and the event benefit fairly from the success of the show.

This model creates a mutually beneficial partnership: the event draws in new customers and visibility for the venue, while the venue gains from increased sales and exposure to a broader audience. There are no upfront fees — instead, profits are shared based on the event’s results.

Community Host

Individuals/Business that volunteer space (home, apartment, backyard, etc) to be able to be used for an event free of charge.

Helps the music community have a fun time and supports local artists.
