Our mission is to champion women and other underrepresented DJs and producers, providing the tools and support for them to flourish, engage with local communities and connect with their sisters around the world.

History

Sisters in Sound (SiS) started as a grassroots collective formed by eclectic women DJs and producers in the U.S., Mexico and Europe.

SiS was launched in 2018 by a group of New York-based women, led by the Mexican artist: Fátima.

Since then, we have hosted 21 showcases featuring 59 artists and 13 workshops/open decks in five cities: New York, Miami, Washington D.C., Puerto Escondido, Puerto Vallarta and at two music festivals.

SiS is proud to have partnered with various organizations including: Women in Music Miami, Mixdloud, Selina International, SILO BK, Femme Fatale DC, Collective Bae, Dash Radio, BitBasel, Sound Collective NYC and more.

Vision

Sisters in Sounds seeks to accomplish its mission of diffusing a kaleidoscopic range of artists through various activities including advocacy, skill-building/workshops, facilitating networkings and bookings, and showcasing diverse talent through event lineups, a mix series, interviews and content development.

Educate

SiS offers online and in-person (NYC, Washington D.C., Mexico) workshops, panel discussions, open decks and listening sessions, open to all and free of charge or by donation. Topics have included:

  • Intro. to Digital DJing
  • Sound Design
  • DJ Business and Relationship Building
  • Social Media Marketing
  • Demo Feedback

Advocate

SiS raises our voice to champion women and underrepresented artists, advocating for fair pay, equitable lineupes and professional treatment. We also maintain an East coast network Whatsapp chat, utilized to share resources, call out bad players and provide a safe space for communication and connection.

Amplify

SiS supports artists through direct bookings of showcases, facilitating linkages, support with marketing (promotion and EPK development) and highlighting guest interviews as well as mixes through the SoundCast.
