SXSW 2024

Held for the first time at Cooper’s BBQ, we curated a fierce and fully female line-up of artists. Influences ranged from traditional to contemporary, and from Hindustani to Arabic-inspired, making the night a celebration of collaboration and culture. Performing artists were Tiffany Poon, Vulva Voce, The Ayoub Sisters, Ringdown (Caroline Shaw and Danni Lee), Natalie Tenenbaum and Bishi, with special guests the Beatbox Collective. The showcase was supported by Shure, Yamaha and MDSG.

SXSW 2023

The first of our showcases at SXSW took place at Esther’s Follies, a modern-day vaudeville theatre in downtown Austin. We incorporated immersive technology and creative lighting design to break down barriers between audience and artist. Performers at the showcase were Kaitlyn Raitz & friends, Kyle P. Walker, Fuse, AyseDeniz Gokcin, Alexandra Whittingham and Ayanna Witter-Johnson. Showcase supported by G.L.P., Limitless, Genius Ventures, SyncVault and Kawai.
