Queenz Sounds

About

Queenz Sounds is a music charity dedicated to amplifying the voices of women and LGBTQIA+ musicians. Founded in response to the lack of diversity and representation within the music industry, we exist to create safe, inclusive spaces where underrepresented artists can perform, connect, and grow. Through our work, we deliver live music events, festivals, and artist development programmes that prioritise equity, visibility, and community. We provide paid performance opportunities, mentorship, and creative platforms that empower artists to build confidence, develop their careers, and reach new audiences. Since our inception, Queenz Sounds has supported a growing network of emerging and established artists, helping to foster a vibrant, inclusive music community across Scotland. Our events not only showcase talent but also create spaces where audiences feel represented and welcomed.
