New project addresses gender disparities in the music industry

A group of local musicians have announced the launch of Women About Sound, a project aiming to help more New Zealand women to develop and record their own music. The project will provide mentorship and support to female musicians through the process of composing and recording original music. 95bFM reporter Katie Doyle speaks to project leader, Jess Haugh, to find out more. 

If you're interested, the first workshop will take place on 19th March from 1-4pm at the Audio Foundation. This workshop will feature Ladi 6, Caitlin Smith and other female musicians in the music industry discussing challenges faced by female musicians.
