Abbey Road Studios launches International Women’s Day Festival
25th February 2021
Abbey Road Studios has announced a programme of masterclasses and mentorship sessions to coincide with International Women’s Day and address the gender imbalance that exists in the industry.
The Equalise programme is intended to highlight the fact that less than five per cent of music producers and engineers are women. Running from March 1-8 (International Women’s Day is March 8), the programme pledges to provide the tools, knowledge and support to inspire and empower more women to join the industry.
As part of the initiative, a raft of leading producers and engineers will be taking part in masterclass, panel sessions and one-to-one mentoring opportunities throughout the week. Among those taking part are Abbie McCarthy, Baby Queen, Charlie Deakin-Davies, Cloves, Cosha, Dani Bennet Spragg, Fiona Cruickshank, Georgia, Hamzaa,
