Sync Online Feedback Session
June 13th, 6PM–8:30PM
Get direct, actionable feedback on your music from Gallo Locknez in this online Zoom session. Participants are invited to submit one track for review, where Gallo will provide insight on structure, presentation, and how to position your music for sync opportunities.
Attendees will also benefit from hearing feedback on other submissions, gaining a broader understanding of what works in sync and why.
Submit one track to gallo@tech25.org, then register to attend this free session for expert feedback that can help move your music forward.
Special guests JuliAnne Wright and K3lvin Kaos will be joining Gallo for this session.
JuliAnne Wright is a singer/songwriter/producer based in Pittsburgh. A former public school music teacher, she re-started her performance career after a brush with brain surgery reawakened old dreams, and fostered a renewed sense of purpose.
As a performer, her 'piano-based pop/rock from the heart,' has been described as: "lush soundscapes of piano under powerful vocals and moving lyrics" and "the musical equivalent of a cup of tea on a cloudy day."
As a producer, she enjoys working in multiple genres; mainly cinematic singer/songwriter and indie folk, with occasional side projects in pop, hip-hop, and promo/trailers.
Her music has been heard on Netflix (Temptation Island), an international Dove soap ad (Brazil, Mexico & Central America), and on Pittsburgh public radio stations WYEP/WESA (as a 2024/25 artist-in-residence).
Most recently, JuliAnne accepted an invitation to the Recording Academy (July 2025).
Keith Joseph Anderson, professionally known as K3lvin Kaos, is a DC / Maryland / Virginia–based music producer and composer known for delivering hard-hitting, cinematic, and emotionally charged records built for film, television, sports, and advertising. His signature sound blends modern hip-hop, rap, and R&B with orchestral, rock, and trailer-style elements, creating music that hits with both commercial impact and cinematic scale.
K3lvin Kaos’ musical foundation began early in elementary school and continued through college at Morgan State University, where he studied music and performed on alto saxophone—a background that still informs his melodic sensibility, arrangement choices, and dynamic builds.
K3lvin Kaos has secured placements across major film studios, broadcast networks, streaming platforms, sports media outlets, and brand advertising, including Anora (Oscar-winning film), Amazon MGM Studios (Red One), Ford, ABC, NBC, Netflix, FOX Sports, ESPN, Discovery, NFL Network, NBA TV, Food Network, BET, and more.
