Music Biz Besties is a Networking Community for Female Musicians & Industry Professionals

Katherine Forbes, Music Biz Besties

Music Biz Besties is an empowering and inclusive networking community designed specifically for female musicians and industry professionals.

I started Music Biz Besties as a Facebook group right before I went full-time with Designing the Row. I was looking for a way to connect and share business ideas with my industry friends outside of text/email. I thought I’d invite my 10 closest friends and that would be it, but to my surprise we were over 200 strong by the end of the first week. Now, with over 6,500 members from around the world Music Biz Besties aims to foster connections, collaborations, and personal growth. It’s a supportive space where women can share their experiences, exchange knowledge, and provide valuable mentorship to one another.

Whether you're a singer, songwriter, producer, or manager, Music Biz Besties brings together like-minded individuals who are passionate about music and breaking barriers in the industry. With a vibrant online group, meetups, workshops (hosted in the US, CAN, and AUS), and a wealth of resources, Music Biz Besties is a place where women are encouraged to thrive, find inspiration, and build meaningful relationships that extend beyond just business. Together, we are rewriting the narrative and creating a stronger, more inclusive future for women in the music business.
