SITM is a nonprofit organization increasing the number of women working in music – songwriters, engineers, producers, artists and industry professionals.
We are an independent, global network that operates as a unifying organization for women from across the industry, creating strength and impact on a global scale. As an umbrella nonprofit, we also provide resources and support for women-focused initiatives that are working to create meaningful change – both through our own programs, as well as external efforts around the world.
Programs include global all-women songwriting sessions, mentorship and education programs, and the largest industry database of women creators and executives with more to come. Our initiatives serve women in the industry today while fostering the development of future generations.
A first-of-its-kind collaboration spanning the music industry, SITM is powered by creators, publishers, record labels, talent agencies, industry groups, media companies, streaming services, and more.
Together, we are creating change for women and building an equal future for music.
