WOMEN: AMPLIFIED Debuts with Star Power and Purpose, Ushering in a New Era of Empowerment for Women in Music

Grammy winners Alicia Keys, Joelle James, DIXSON, and more were honored on an unforgettable night, igniting a movement beyond Women’s History Month!

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, March 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Women: Amplified launched a powerful new movement in music and culture. This inaugural event united Grammy Award-winning artists, industry leaders, and rising talent to empower and elevate women in entertainment, deploying mentorship programs and resources to invest in the exploding creator economy.

Held at The Recording Club in the City of Santa Monica, the event celebrated the cultural impact and social influence of acclaimed musicians such as Alicia Keys, Joelle James, and DIXSON, honored alongside revered music executives and entrepreneurs driving change. The function marked a long-overdue industry-wide shift and was attended by a mix of allies and artists, including Trinidad James, Bam Marley, Siavash Aghaiepour, former Pussycat Doll Natalie Mejia, and a group of collaborators who have worked with industry icons like Beyoncé, Doechii, Britney Spears, Kehlani, and Shenseea.

“The experience wasn’t just a celebration—it was a declaration,” said event host Alisa Jacobs, co-founder and co-CEO of LOOP Studios. “We set a new precedent for access, mentorship, and opportunity for women in music and entertainment. This is about power with purpose—placing women at the center, not the sidelines. We’re building a future where equity isn’t a question but the standard. This is how we code culture—loudly, proudly, boldly, and together.”

Women: Amplified was co-created by Jae Deal, Alisa Jacobs, Antoinette Williams, Ginny Luke, LaDonna Williams, and Candace Newman. The production collaborated with marketing agency LOOP Studios, with support from our Title Sponsor, tech platform Who Has It, touring company Live Out L!ve, and mission-driven nonprofits such as She Is The Music, Guitar Center Music Foundation, Women in Music Los Angeles, and Girls Make Beats.

“I envisioned this event as a catalyst to spark a lasting impact," said Grammy Award-winning Producer Jae Deal. "After spending seven years researching the challenges women face in the industry, I recognized the need for men to stand in solidarity as part of the solution. As a father, teacher and mentor, it is fulfilling to work side by side with incredible women to cultivate spaces where their voices are heard and their talents truly valued.”

Women: Amplified is just getting started. This is the dawn of a dynamic movement destined to deepen awareness, drive abundance, and disrupt the status quo. With creators at the core and equity as the engine, it’s not just amplifying voices—it’s architecting an infrastructure for a new norm where women thrive, lead, and leave lasting legacies.
