ABOUT US

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Girls Behind The Rock Show is the largest online platform and resource for women and gender-nonconforming people in the music industry. We were founded on and stand for the principle of female empowerment within the music industry. We look to empower education through the creation of programs to give marginalized genders the opportunity to forge their dreams. We believe that when everyone has a voice, opportunity flourishes.

Girls Behind the Rock Show started as an idea on paper years ago to help more women become involved in the music industry. Over the years we have developed programs to help advance marginalized genders working within the music industry. Wherever they are in their career, we want to help them find their path, make connections and receive the education and support they need.

Girls Behind The Rock Show is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization.

OUR VALUES

Open the Dialogue

Addressing the gender imbalance within the music industry through open conversation between music industry professionals.

Break Down Barriers

Curating educational programs for young music industry professionals to help increase accessibility for marginalized genders. 

Create Equal Opportunities

Creating scholarships to help overcome the socio-economic barriers of entry that prevent marginalized groups from working in the industry. 

Foster Community 

Developing a safe space where individuals of varying experience levels can work with and learn from each other.

OUR IMPACT

In the past 5 years, we have been able to provide over 10,000 women, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming music industry professionals with career opportunities, internships, shadowing experiences, and more through our networking group. In Fall 2019, we conducted a survey of 700 group members and found that a majority of survey respondents have found both paid and unpaid work directly through the group.
