The Problem

Women make up less than 5% of audio engineers globally. In Africa, the numbers are even more stark across Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa, women in audio are underrepresented, underfunded, and under-supported. According to the UNESCO 2023 report, only 1 in 10 women in African creative industries receives adequate training or mentorship to break into technical roles like production or engineering.

  • Women in music face barriers like limited access to training, gender bias, lack of representation, and few visible mentors – especially in technical and leadership roles.
  • In many parts of Africa, aspiring female creatives have no access to structured learning, industry networks, or global opportunities.

    Without intentional investment, we risk losing an entire generation of African women in production, audio, and music business.

 

Why We Exist

We believe that Access shouldn't be a privilege

Our belief: Access changes everything.

Audio Girl exists to close the gap for African women in the music industry, a space where we’ve been too often unheard, unseen, and underestimated. We were born out of frustration, but we’re fueled by possibility.

We are here to say:
 You belong in the studio.
 You deserve to own your sound.
 You have a right to understand the business.

We’re not just teaching audio or music business, we’re building confidence, community, and a new creative economy where women lead, collaborate, and thrive.

Audio Girl is for the woman who’s tired of waiting to be invited – so she builds her own stage.

This isn’t charity. It’s strategy.
 This isn’t just learning. It’s legacy.

We exist because no one should have to fight alone to be seen, heard, and paid in full.

What We Do

We create opportunities for women in audio through:

  • Hands-on training & workshops in audio engineering, production, and music business
  • Mentorship programs & career pods led by industry experts
  • Pan-African community events and virtual experiences
  • Access to jobs, internships, and gig placements
  • Memberships that offer structured learning and career support

We are grassroots. We are digital. We are pan-African. And we are community-led.

Membership FAQs

Who Can Become an Audio Girl Member?

Audio Girl membership is currently open to women and girls aged 18 and above.
This includes all women-identifying individuals across Africa and the diaspora who are passionate about audio production, sound engineering, live sound, music business, or related fields.

We’ve chosen to start with this age group to ensure a safe, mature, and empowering space for deeper learning, professional development, and peer-to-peer collaboration.

We hope to expand to younger age groups in the future through special programs and initiatives.

👉 If you’re not a woman, we still value your interest and invite you to explore our sister platform, AudioMogul, which is open to all genders. You can join the AudioMogul waitlist here to stay updated on upcoming learning tracks, mentorship pods, and community launches.

I don't live in Nigeria, can I still join?

Yes! Audio Girl is pan-African and virtual-first. Whether you’re in Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, South Africa, or part of the diaspora, you’re welcome. All resources are accessible online, with chapter – based events being organised in different cities across Africa and beyond.

our membership includes access to:

  • Exclusive learning sessions & workshops

Can I volunteer or lead a chapter in my country?

Yes! We’re looking for passionate Chapter Heads and volunteers across Africa. If you want to lead or support your local community, apply via the Chapter Leadership link (coming soon).

Do I need professional experience to join?

  • Get early access to gigs/collaborations

  • Be part of a continental women-led legacy

Is the membership really only $10/year? Why so low?

Yes — because we believe access should never be a barrier. This fee helps us cover basic operations while remaining accessible to women across the continent.

How can I support beyond being a member?

You can donate, become a partner, mentor others, or host events in your city. Audio Girl is powered by passion and people — and we’d love to grow with you.

Is AudioMogul part of Audio Girl?


No — AudioMogul is a separate platform created to serve a broader creative audience, including but not limited to Audio Girl members. Some Audio Girl programs use AudioMogul as their learning engine, but they are two separate entities with distinct missions.

What is AudioMogul, and how is it different from Audio Girl?

AudioMogul is a sister platform created by the founders of Audio Girl. It operates as a broader, tech-first learning ecosystem for all African creatives. While aligned in mission, it is separate from Audio Girl and offers deep learning tracks in music business, tech, and production for all genders. Designed as a creative institute for the next generation, AudioMogul offers accessible, bite-sized learning tracks across music business, audio technology, and innovation.

While Audio Girl is our pan-African membership community supporting women in audio and music careers, AudioMogul is the learning arm that fuels their growth. Many Audio Girl programs are powered by AudioMogul, and members often enjoy early access, exclusive courses, and priority placement within the AudioMogul ecosystem.
