The Dublin chapter of shesaid.so was launched in 2018 by Shauna Watson. In its first few years, shesaid.so Dublin hosted a variety of skill-share workshops on topics including streaming, industry positions, music marketing and DJing. In August 2018 they partnered with the first inaugural music festival in Dublin called We've Only Just Begun which had an all female fronted line-up. In 2020, Shauna passed over the leadership of the Dublin chapter to Lisa Murray, who adapted the community to become a safe, open and welcoming online space during the Covid-19 pandemic, hosting workshops and webinars in collaboration with IMRO, West One Music Group, the National Concert Hall and more. Now, in the post-pandemic landscape, the chapter is developing once again and gearing up for an exciting lineup of events and collaborations in the works for the coming months and year ahead! Lisa is now accompanied by chapter co-director Nikki Raymond and shesaid.so Dublin is set to work closely with the Irish Music Rights Organisation (IMRO) to bring a set of educational workshops, panel discussions and community meet-ups to the Irish music scene!

Our mission 

Our aim is to empower, uplift and educate women and gender minorities in the music industry. We achieve this through community meet-up events, educational skill-sharing workshops, insightful panel discussions and various other opportunities. We also welcome allies to our community, so if you are dedicated to uplifting women and gender minorities in the music industry, feel free to sign up!
