This International Women's Day…
We teamed up with Kitsuné to celebrate women and woman-identifying people and expand on our shared mission of connecting people through music all around the globe.
As part of our collaboration, we are highlighting 13 talented up-and-coming female artists coming from different countries with a 24-hour live stream on BandsinTown’s Twitch channel on March 8th, followed by the release of the 24-hour audio mix compilation on Kitsuné Musique’s Soundclound channel.
We've also created a shesaid.so x Kitsuné Women's Day Fund which will provide hardship payments to freelancers, contractors and artists in the independent music industry whose income has been severely affected due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. The fund will support creators and executives from the shesaid.so community that have lost committed income or have not been able to secure novel paid work in 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic.
