She Is The Music

About Amelia Sarkisian

Hi! I am a producer and engineer, both in studio and live, as well as touring musician, playing both guitar and bass, and lead vocals. I specialize in indie, punk, shoegaze, and the like, and have a strong passion for the undercurrent of the music scene. I also manage two San Diego recording studios, and tend to be the only femme in the room. I am always aching for a stronger connection to other non-men in the music industry and am always open to work.

Current Working Location

Studio West and Satellite, San Diego, CA USA (Available for some travel.)

Amelia's Experience

As a studio engineer, I have credits with the likes of Jason Mraz, the San Diego Music Awards, Cathedral Bells, as well as many well respected acts in the regional area including Sparkler, Echinacea, Bethany Home, and many more. Mixing is my truest passion, and I work best in the room I helped build, Satellite in San Diego. I enjoy the full process of unearthing the feelings of a song, and giving an artist a mix they can be proud of. As a live engineer, I have run sound at venues such as Music Box, Space Bar, and festivals like the Millpond Festival (Bishop, CA) and Escorted Trips (5 years). As a musician, I have gone on the road as a bass player in Sparkler, SD based shoegaze, and play in the region as a lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for my band, Loitering. I enjoy building up the smaller bands, and am driven to go the distance.

She Is The Music PresentsWomen Sharing the Spotlight

On behalf of She Is The Music, it is with great pleasure that we recognize the below women for their extraordinary contributions to the music industry at our inaugural Women Sharing The Spotlight cocktail event.

Women Sharing The Spotlight is founded in the ethos that when we make more space for each other, when we bring more women into the room, we create a vibrant spirit and ecosystem of mentorship, growth and opportunity -- together. This is a unique event for industry leaders to not only converge and celebrate -- but to share their platforms, their voices, and their strength with one another and with the next generations of women forging the path ahead.

The list has been selected by our advisory council as one of 50 exceptional women to be celebrated for your 20+ years of remarkable achievement, contribution and impact in music.

Rooted in the conviction that 'We Are Stronger Together', we have asked each honoree to nominate another woman they admire to share the spotlight.

Women Sharing The Spotlight is envisioned as an annual celebration, creating a platform to elevate and empower women who are shaping the future of music.
