Saffron Music

Redressing gender in music industry

[um_bookmarks_button]

Less than 5% of the music tech industry is comprised of women, non-binary or trans people. Less than 1% of these are people of colour. Saffron is on a mission to change those stats through meaningful, long-term, and far-reaching projects.

“Through creating safer spaces for marginalised people to learn, create and grow music tech and industry experience, we are working to break down these barriers to the industry from the ground up.”

Founded in Bristol, UK in 2015 by Laura Lewis-Paul, Saffron operates as a non-profit organisation that primarily offers training in music production, sound engineering and DJing, as well as running an artist development programme and record label.

Saffron’s aim is to advance gender equality in the music tech sector by creating a safe space for women, non-binary people and other minority genders to learn and build confidence. We want to inhabit traditionally male-dominated music tech spaces and become visible role models for others.
