Celebrating women in music today, inspiring women in music tomorrow.
Mediterranean Girls In Music (MGIM) is more than just a music blog. Officially launched by Italian music industry professional Arianna Bartolozzi Bellantuono just earlier this year, the platform covers a wide range of content in Italian, English and Spanish - from interviews and articles to news and reviews - with a special focus on Mediterranean women in the industry.
Arianna, who studied Music Business in the UK and completed her postgraduate studies in Management with Creative Industries and US, UK and EU Copyright Law, was inspired to bring more attention to the often undiscussed Mediterranean music scene and also to women in music since we’re still battling a male-dominated industry.
The creation of Mediterranean Girls In Music was supported by Dunya Fadili, an Italian-Moroccan philosophy student with a love for writing and music, plus experience working at a local radio station. The team has continued to grow with the addition of two new writers this spring, all in the hopes of using journalism and storytelling as a way to unite people around the world, spread their culture and share their passion for music.
While the MGIM blog features lots of artists and new music releases, one standout segment is their weekly showcase of women working in the music field. In their most recent edition, Arianna interviewed Paula Sánchez Manzanero, the head of legal affairs and music business at Sympathy For The Lawyer, a music-centred law firm in Spain.
These articles, along with tips about entering the music industry on their social media pages, are what makes Mediterranean Girls In Music an incredible resource, not just a music blog. Landing on MGIM’s blog or social media pages and seeing a group of women running a music blog, plus reading about women working in other areas of the business, is incredibly inspiring. What Arianna and her team have created shows great promise for a future where more women and girls fulfill their dreams of working in the music industry as artists, producers, managers, journalists, etc.
