Event description
Description
MAMI is delighted to be involved in the Spring Forward Festival programme this year.
We will be hosting a panel discussion, about being or considering becoming a mum whilst working in the music industry. MAMI is a collective of creative mamas in music who aim to focus on supporting and empowering each other through shared experience. Founded by Bee Adamic and Johanna Bramli on International Women’s Day 2018, MAMIs come together to promote a positive message for the current and next generation of females in music.
Guest speakers -

Whether on a big stage with her 16 piece band, charming a crowd of 4000 into staying out dancing in the rain (as she did at Montreal Jazz Festival) or rocking out an intimate club set with a stripped down six-piece band; she’s a singer who commands attention.
