One thing about the music industry is that it's ｃｏｍｐｅｔｉｔｉｖｅ. There are so many other people out there who have the passion for music just like you do. While it's important to understand that you're among many who are trying to get the same job as you, it's also important to not lose hope too quickly when searching for a job in the music industry. Don't let a couple no's stop you from succeeding & accomplishing your dreams. Keep sending those emails, keep applying to your dream jobs, keep making connections. You'll look back at that consistency & realize how much it really helped you get to where you want to be!

May is mental health month and while you probably see these tips everywhere, we think giving you another reminder doesn’t hurt anyone! Mental health is a very broad issue- so we are in no way saying that these 5 things are an automatic fix- but self care & putting yourself first is so important to a start in any mental health journey. 💗
Hello everyone! We want to thank you all for your support of our passion project, formerly known as Women in the Music Industry (WIMI). It has been brought to our attention that we have been incorrectly associated and confused with Women in Music (). In anticipation of the continued growth of our beloved community, we have taken the past month off to rebrand as The Wavelength Collective!
Wavelengths in music are the space between high points of a sound wave. We believe that women working behind the scenes in the music industry are the driving force that take brands, projects, companies, and more to their highest potential. With intentions to eventually expand our project into a business offering artist management and marketing services, we believe our new title, The Wavelength Collective, is a great reflection of our mission and goal to serve women working behind the scenes in the music industry. We are happy to be back and look forward to continuing to bring you the best features, industry tips, and more starting in May!
Thank you all very much again for your time and support.
With love,
💗 The Wavelength Collective Team .athena
We’re taking a break to rebrand & we’ll be back better than ever! We appreciate you all supporting us & we look forward to bringing you more features & industry tips in the future. ✨
Hustling is great, but make sure you take a much needed break every once in a while! Your mind and body will thank you. 💖
We all understand that sometimes life happens.. but how do you explain life creating gaps in your resume to potential employers? Well the first step is to just be honest- resume gaps are more common than you think! You got this 🙌💖
Nastia puts into words perfectly how it can feel to be part of the music industry! We sometimes underestimate the impact music has on people, but the truth is music can be comforting, uplifting, relatable.. & so much more. Being a part of something that can change lives is unbeatable. 🎶💖

Welcome to another week of celebrating Women in the Music Industry! 💕
We are proud to kickoff Women’s History Month with Rebecca Niebla, who is the founder of Visión Music Agency. Be sure to check out the link in our bio to learn more about her journey toward becoming a founder and her work as a PR Specialist in the Latin music market and beyond! ✨
Happy International Women’s Day ✨ WIMI is all about supporting women who do amazing things behind the scenes in the music industry. However we also are always learning ways to support women in our everyday lives, as well! We’ve come up with a few ways you can support women in the workplace. We hope we can start seeing other women who succeed before us as something to celebrate, and then continue encouraging those who succeed after us. We’ll grow so much more after we start seeing eachother as inspiration rather than competition. 💖
In continued celebration of Black History Month, the WIMI team wanted to take the time to highlight these 6 incredible organizations which create resources, community, and opportunities for Black creatives and music industry professionals. We encourage you to read above about the work each organization does and feel free to check them out or give them a follow! 💗✨
As we welcome Black History Month, Women In the Music Industry would like to encourage all members of our community to reflect on the many contributions of Black Americans to the music industry and beyond. Black music creators, managers, producers, attorneys, photographers, marketers, and more have defined and transformed our culture since the very beginnings of the music industry.
Each February, we experience a collective acknowledgement of the hardships and struggles that Black music industry professionals face. We would like to urge that it is just as important to place that acknowledgement in action. Ask yourself: “What can I do now to ensure that my Black colleagues feel valued, heard, and respected?” Together, we can accomplish so much, this month and every month after. Never forget that one unwavering commitment to progress and change sparks another.
In solidarity and with love,
The Women in the Music Industry Team
