ABOUT HEN HOOSE
Scottish musician Tamara Schlesinger formed songwriting collective and music production house Hen Hoose in 2020 as a response to inequality within the music industry. Hen Hoose unites a rich and diverse array of wonderfully talented, award-winning female and non-binary artists, writers and producers collaborating on the creation of exciting new music across multiple genres.
Based across the UK and Europe, members have individually created syncs for Hollywood films, Netflix shows, global TV adverts and have written for theatre productions, alongside highly successful careers as artists.
Hen Hoose has been recognised by The Big Issue for their gender equality work and was named as one of their Cultural Changemakers in 2022. Additional recognition by the John Lennon Foundation in 2022, saw the organisation receive funding which, for the first time, enabled them to support artists beyond Scotland. Further support from PRS for Music in 2023 allowed the organisation to offer mentoring to artists across the UK.
Hen Hoose’s inaugural release, the Scottish Album of the Year Award nominated album Equaliser, written remotely during lockdown, was released in 2023.
