Since launching The F-List has benefited from the incredible support of high profle musicians lending their powerful voices to the mission and work of The F-List.
We are hugely grateful to the following women:

Anoushka Shankar - Inaugural President

“The F-List is the first initiative of its kind to give female artists and musicians a platform where they can be discovered. Its breath-taking thoroughness and scope nullifies any excuses from people in the music industry who blame a lack of representation and diversity by saying there’s a dearth of women to hire. But it’s also a supportive network that can transform the music industry into a place that better represents, and reflects, the richness and diversity in British society.”

“The F-list is an incredible resource and a highly valuable support system for females within the UK music industry. At long last there exists a vehicle which collates our talents and skills across multiple facets of the music industry, connecting us, supporting us, and highlighting our assets to the wider world. I believe that being a woman is my superpower. So, let’s harness all our superpowers and change the landscape.”

Brix Smith - 2nd President
Professor Shirley J Thompson OBE - 3rd President

“The F-List offers valuable resources that are easily obtainable and make the difference to the development and progress of female musicians. I frequently refer my students to the List for information and ideas. These are the most challenging times for the creative industries globally and we at The F-List will bolster the clammer for access to music education, creativity and performance at all levels.”

“There are now more female higher-profile players leading us as role models than ever before, but shocking statistics are still showing a major disparity between the gender gap in music. Highlighting those musicians behind the scenes, who also produce, engineer, orchestrate, conduct… The F-list continues to positively build upon and endorse a supportive place that reflects our rich diversity. It is an honour to represent this wealth of British talent.”
