Amsterdam chapter of The shesaid.so community of women, gender nonconforming people, and allies in the music industry.

We are thrilled to reignite the Amsterdam chapter of Shesaid.so. Our city is known for creativity, tolerance and pushing boundaries and therefore it's only natural that we relaunch a community that mirrors this same spirit.

Our objective is to establish an inclusive and comprehensive platform dedicated to supporting women in music at every stage of their careers, including students, junior-level professionals, seniors, and those in C-suite positions. We want to foster a vibrant community where individuals from both Dutch and international backgrounds can unite, share their experiences, and collaborate with one another. We believe it is imperative to cultivate an enjoyable and engaging atmosphere where members can connect and find inspiration while building meaningful relationships within the music community.

Past Events & Initiatives

WOMEN IN HIP-HOP MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

The Women in Hip-Hop Mentorship Program, sponsored by Johnnie Walker Black Label, was designed to create meaningful connections, empower mentees, and enhance representation in the music industry. Over the course of three months, the program paired eight mentees with senior industry mentors from TikTok, Diageo, ADE Beats, Top Notch, and more, providing one-on-one mentorship, professional development, and networking opportunities.

  • Total Participants: 16

  • Mentorship – The program included structured training sessions, online meetings, and two in-person networking dinners

  • High-Value Mentors: Senior mentors from diverse industry sectors, including brand partnerships, music tech, and talent development

BORREL & HEADSHOTS

The Borrel & Headshots event, presented by shesaid.so Amsterdam and sponsored by Downtown Music Holdings, brought together women, gender nonconforming people, and allies in the music industry for an evening of connection, visibility, and celebration. Held in a welcoming and inclusive space, the event offered professional headshots, music, drinks, and meaningful networking.

We created a safe, community-driven event where attendees could receive a free professional headshot, meet others in the industry in a relaxed, welcoming environment, and feel seen, supported, and celebrated. The event aimed to increase both personal visibility and industry connectivity.

Total Attendees: 79

  • Attendees from all over the Netherlands (was not limited to only Amsterdam)

  • Attendees were from a range of all seniority levels
