The Global Network for Women Music Producers

The Global Network for Women Music Producers is an initiative to support women and non-binary music producers and help right the gender imbalance in their field.

Designed in consultation with partners in countries from around the world, the program will help overcome barriers in the music industry, and provide opportunities for support, discussion, networking, and collaboration. The program will also serve as a resource for musicians and record labels who are looking to work with a female-identifying producer.

The Global Network for Women Music Producers is a partnership with National Eisteddfod of Wales, Sounds Australia, Music Estonia, and producer liaison Belen Fasulis (Argentina).

An inspiring week in Wales

Women and non-binary music producers from Argentina, Sweden, Estonia, Wales, and Canada met in Wales in August 2024 for an inspiring week of knowledge sharing and networking activities as part of the program.

“Creating opportunities for under-represented artists and creators that provide greater access to the tools, networks, resources, and fellow artists that they need to succeed is at the heart of the Global Network.  Bringing this group of talented women together during the week in Wales, to create and inspire each other was critical to their growth as producers.”

Heather Gibson, Executive Producer, Popular Music & Variety, Canada’s National Arts Centre

“Now is the time to address the harsh inequity in music production. I truly believe that elevating women and non-binary producers into the mainstream and under the spotlight would benefit and grow the entire industry for everyone.”

Maïa Davies, music producer and artist (Montreal, QC)
