Music Career Toolkit

We’ve selected the best resources and guidance that the community of women in The F-List can give emerging music artists. This mini website hosted within The F-List website is intended to be a growing resource aimed at early career, grassroots women and gender diverse musicians across all genres. Each of the pages contains a brief overview and key information, resources and elements about that particular topic. It won’t tell you how to create music or perform, we believe in your talent, but it will give you all the right business and industry advice you need to start your music career on the right path.

Check out the 12 essential career categories below, and start your artist development journey!
