How I Met My Idol

We had the pleasure of interviewing Scarlet Parke over Zoom video! Singer, songwriter and self-made producer, Scarlet Parke, releases her latest single, "369,". Performed exclusively for Grammy.com last year, "369" showcases a combination of Scarlet's confident writing ability, strong production skills, and commanding vocals. Scarlet elaborates; "369 is a manifestation practice I like to do that includes writing down a mantra 3 times in the morning, 6 times in the afternoon, and 9 times at night. I've manifested some amazing things since I started doing it." A single that Scarlet has named the heart of her upcoming album, Simulation, "369" is all about manifestation. Alongside songwriting, Scarlet has also found herself being an advocate for females in the industry. "Did you know 2% of women are producers?" Scarlet elaborates on her creative process; "I've been holding onto some of the songs on my upcoming album for as long as 9 years. I've just been searching for the right producer, and it was me the whole time. It's been a journey and I really want to talk about how important it is that women support each other more than ever. There's nothing like the freedom that I've felt producing my own music. I didn't really know how anxious I was all the time going into the studio with a bunch of random people. Now that I'm self producing, I don't have to worry about booking time or dealing with studio fees. I can create whenever and wherever I feel safe and inspired to make my music" Scarlet's passion for self-producing has led her to discover a community of women that want to learn these skills for themselves. She has taken it into her own hands by creating "Dreamgirl by Scarlet," a website that includes exclusive digital resources and opportunities with links to music gear and coaching sessions and the Dreamgirl Shop. As part of this initiative, Scarlet has launched the "Dreamgirl Producer Bag," available for purchase here. The Dreamgirl Producer Bag was designed with the intention to help artists create freely, whenever and wherever inspiration strikes. Scarlet's mission is to empower more girls to produce and help close the 98% gap between male and female producers. "This first started because I wanted to release resources to share my knowledge and talk about how I got started producing. I think it's important to talk about the mental hurdles around it along with the physical process of it. I've put together a producer starter pack of items that I have in my own kit. It's totally portable and I can produce anywhere, whether that be in nature or on top of a building. Wherever you want to be, wherever you're inspired, you can take that with you. That's what Dreamgirl is, a place to feel encouraged to do things your own way." Scarlet states. Hailing from Port Orchard, WA, Scarlet has been paving her own way into the entertainment world for the past decade. Scarlet grew up singing in musicals, church, and has been trained professionally in Opera, jazz, and Pop. In the background of all that, Scarlet has always loved writing lyrics, but didn't start her own band until after high school. After gaining experience by playing around her hometown, Scarlet decided to move to Seattle and catapult herself into becoming a household name in the local music scene. Once Covid hit, Scarlet honed in on some untapped talents; teaching herself how to produce, edit videos, and further practice her live show stage presence. Scarlet is a force in the industry and has continued to define her own rules for the artist she wants to be. We want to hear from you!
