Women In Music

Cindy James, Sulinna Ong and Rachel Newman fly the flag for Billboard’s Women In Music 2025, celebrating the industry's top female execs.

The national Women in Music Mentor program for 2022 and 2023 has the largest intake so far, with 160 applicants.

Successful applicants will learn the ropes with a mentor over a five-month span, during which time they'll enjoy expert industry training.

'I didn’t know how to say 'no' to people with dreams and people I cared about,' writes Lexy Dobbin.

DJs, label managers and agency directors have seen it all - and they have a fair bit of wisdom to share. 

A panel of high-powered female leaders will unpack the issues facing women in the creative sector. 

Each participant will take part in a professional development program and hands-on training.

21 female-identifying, non-binary and gender non-conforming artists have been selected by APRA AMCOS for this year's program.

Applications for the second round of AIR's music mentoring program are open today.

The next round will be announced in early 2021.
