FairPlay Songwriting Camp: where women in music strike a chord

The event is dedicated to empowering women across the musical spectrum and is set to take place from March 5 to 9, in Sandton, Johannesburg. Bringing together an impressive roster of female artists, producers and songwriters from South Africa, including Makhadzi, Moonchild Sanelly, Mawhoo, Shekhinah and Lulu from the UK, the camp is set to highlight the often-overlooked contributions of women in a rapidly evolving industry. Other female artists who will be participating include Kenyan-born singer Xenia Manasseh, American-Ghanaian singer Amaarae and Cameroon singer Libianca among others. The music industry, while thriving, continues to show a stark gender disparity, notably in songwriting, production and leadership roles.
