Building Bridges with first Women in Music SA webinar
Building Bridges is the first webinar hosted by the South African chapter of Women in Music (WiM).
They will be asking questions such as…
How can musicians build bridges in order to grow and develop internationally – and close the gap between Africa and the world?
What can be done to bridge the pay gap and advance gender equality in the music industry?
How do we build bridges for women to network, both within their own industry and across borders?
Women in Music (WiM) SA was founded in August 2020 and the Building Bridges webinar will co-hosted by Africa Rising Music Conference (ARMC).
Building Bridges panellists
The panel includes New York-based entertainment lawyer Neeta Ragoowansi.
She will contribute insights from her role as Secretary & Global Co-Chair of Chapter Expansion of Women in Music – the world’s leading non-profit working to educate, empower and advance women in the music industry.
Joining Ragoowansi will be Ninel Musson, the co-owner of Vth Season, a South African, full-service entertainment marketing agency. Musson brings her experience working with a diverse roster of recording artists, writers and producers as well as pop-culture talent and associated event platforms to the panel.
The panel is rounded off by Msaki, a curator and producer. Through singles like “Blood, Guns and Revolution” (2020) and the South Africa Music Award-nominated album Zaneliza: How the Water Moves (2016), the Eastern Cape-raised artist has established herself as a fearless artistic force. She is also the owner of the label, One Shushu Day Artistry and will bring an important independent perspective to the panel.
Building Bridges will be moderated by Sarah-Jane Nicholson, one of WiM South Africa’s founding members. Nicholson is also the founder of SJN Agency, and Africa Rising Music Conference (ARMC) and is currently based in Berlin where she heads up Paradise Africa.
The webinar will offer an opportunity for potential members to discover more about WiM membership which includes – among many other benefits – access to educational and networking events around the world, educational seminars, panels and workshops with top-notch professionals and roundtable discussions on current topics relevant to the industry.
