What does a topliner actually do — and how does a simple idea become a fully realized vocal world?
In this exclusive Female Songwriters Day webinar, acclaimed songwriter and topliner Josefin Glenmark shares her journey from artist to internationally sought-after topliner, with a special focus on K-pop and the Asian market. Since her first release with Peg Parnevik in 2016, Josefin has written for global acts including NMIXX, ITZY, Red Velvet, TWICE, and LE SSERAFIM — co-writing major chart-topping and multi-platinum releases.
In The Art of Toplining, Josefin offers a hands-on and inspiring look into:
With her background as a singer, vocal producer, and songwriter, Josefin combines technical skill with artistic intuition — sharing both practical tools and honest reflections on collaboration, creativity, and finding your voice as a songwriter.
This session is perfect for songwriters, topliners, and producers who want to strengthen their melodic instincts, refine their writing process, and gain insight into working internationally.

As part of Female Songwriters Day 2026, we invite you to a live panel discussion exploring what it really means to build an international songwriting career today.
In this panel, female and non-binary songwriters share their personal experiences of working across borders — from entering international writing rooms to navigating new markets, networks, and creative expectations. Rather than focusing on theory, the discussion centers on real-life journeys, challenges, and learnings from writers who have taken their work beyond their local scenes.
Together with partners from STIM, SOCAN and Teosto, the panel creates space for open conversation around questions such as:
What does “going international” look like in practice?
How do international writing rooms differ from local ones?
Where do global opportunities actually come from?
How do you stay true to your artistic voice while adapting to new contexts?
What barriers exist — and how can they be navigated?
The session is open to anyone interested in international collaboration, career development, and representation within songwriting — and offers both inspiration and concrete perspectives for taking your next steps beyond borders.
More information about signing up will come soon.
