YOU Power WAM!
Did you know that women make up more than half of the US population, and yet:
👉 Fewer than 5% of people creating all of the recorded sounds you hear every day are women and gender-expansive people
👉 Between 1998 and 2018 – two full decades – there was a 7% decrease in women graduating with degrees in computer science and a 5% decline in women earning math degrees.
✨ Now, more than ever, women, girls, and gender-expansive people need our support.
This week kicks off the Women's Audio Missions year-end campaign to raise $200,000 by midnight on December 31.
Help us amplify the voices of women, girls, and gender-expansive people by donating to WAM today.

Steph_WHM
To celebrate the last day of #womenshistorymonth and #transdayofvisibility, WAM intern Steph highlights the wondrous work of SOPHIE, a musician and recording artist who paved the way for other queer and gender-expansive folks. Thank you, SOPHIE, for #changingthefaceofsound.
----
Hi, everyone! My name is Stephanie and my pronouns are they/she. I am an audio engineer and musician from Oklahoma, and I'm highlighting electronic musician, record producer, singer, songwriter, and DJ, SOPHIE for Women’s History Month. I love electronics and synthesizers and came across SOPHIE in the middle of my research into synthesis. To me, SOPHIE blends lush pop music and experimental (often abrasive) electronic music beautifully and unlike anyone before. A trailblazer until her death, her legacy inspires me to push boundaries and create my own soundscapes as a form of rebellion against a world that doesn’t make spaces for queer voices. She is a beacon to me for queer representation in an industry I struggle to feel seen and understood in.

Zo_WHM
WAM intern Zo shares why they are inspired by the experiential artist @arca1000000. Through the exploration of self, sound, and visuals, Arca is #changinthefaceofsound!
-----
Hi, everyone! My name is Zo and my pronouns are they/them. I am a producer, soundscape recorder, and instrumentalists from the Bay Area and a WAM intern. I am highlighting experimental artist Arca for Women’s History Month. She is a Venezuelan producer, composer, artist, engineer and genre expander who has been reconstructing the boundaries of pop and electronic music through the last decade. Her ability to explore self, sound, and visuals in continuously evolving ways inspires me to know that expression has no limits. Her music embodies the expansive queer future of sound and expression.

Maia_WHM
WAM intern Maia shares why they are inspired by the recording skills and musicianship of Adrianne Lenker - musicians like Adrianne are #changingthefaceofsound!
----
Hi everyone, my name is Maia Sinaiko, and my pronouns are they/them. I am a musician and member of the band Sour Widows. I am from Oakland and a WAM intern.
I am highlighting Adrianne Lenker of the band Big Thief for Women's History Month because her songwriting and performance skills are unmatched and singular.
Her precision and passion as a guitarist and vocalist are at levels which I aspire to reach. And her lyricism and command of recording techniques are unmatched. I believe her unique presence in the music world will leave a strong legacy as she continues to carve out space in rock music for women and gender-non-conforming individuals and brings power and authenticity back to the genre.

JJ_WHM
Kina Grannis's authenticity is what inspires WAM intern, JJ. Tune in to hear more about this creative musician who has created an independent and authentic path.
------
Hello everyone, my name is JJ and my pronouns are she/hers. I am a sound designer based in the DC area and a WAM intern! Today I am highlighting Kina Grannis for Women’s History Month. She is a singer-songwriter and producer who chose to be independent to freely express her creativity and music. By creating a label through Patreon, KGrecords, she was able to authentically make music for herself and her listeners. She’s an inspiration to me because she led by example by putting her artwork first. In an industry that constantly needs approval from others, we tend to forget our own visions and ideas. I hope to live authentically through my craft as Kina is doing with her music.

Arielle_WHM
WAM intern Arielle shares why she's inspired by Lenise Bent, a groundbreaking audio #engineer who is the first woman to receive a platinum album for engineering. Thank you for #changingthefaceof sound, Lenise!
------⠀
Hi, everyone! My name is Arielle and my pronouns are she/her. I am an engineer from San Francisco and a WAM intern. I’m highlighting Lenise Bent for Women’s History Month because she is a groundbreaking engineer who has had a vast career in music, sound for film, archiving and more. Lenise has been a pioneer for women in the audio industry, and was the first woman to receive a platinum album for engineering. She has worked extensively in post-production sound for film for companies like Disney and Dreamworks, and is dedicated to giving back to the community through teaching and lecturing. I am inspired by Lenise’s passion for all facets of audio, and her love for preservation and analog techniques. Thank you, Lenise, for paving the way and showing me that it is possible to do it all!

Tori_WHM2
WAM intern Tori spotlights the trailblazing work of the songwriting & production duo Nova Wav. This powerhouse of audio magic is well respected in the recording industry, they have worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna, and many more. As Black-female songwriters and #soundengineers, they are paving the way and truly #changingthefaceofsound.

Hey yall! My name is Victoria aka Eiram V and my pronouns are her/she. I’m a music producer, recording, and live audio engineer from Atlanta, GA, and I am a WAM intern. I am highlighting Chi and Blu of production duo Nova Wav for Women’s History Month. For me, Nova Wav represents the future of music production. They are 2 black women in a white male-dominated industry, and are well respected in the industry. Writing for big names such as Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Saweeti and Kehlanni (to name a few) have gained them accolades that one dreams of in this profession. Although black producers can oftentimes be typecast into the archetypes of being RnB and Hip-Hop exclusively, their legacy is limitless and unapologetic. Nova Wav are truly trailblazers for women in audio like me.

Kate_WHM1
WAM intern Kate highlights @sudanarchives and her use of Sudanese folk music, pop, hip hop, R&B, and the violin to make her ever-evolving music. The uniqueness of this artist inspires all of us to seek new sounds and continue #changingthefaceofsound! ⠀
