A recent report by the Musician’s Census reveals that 51% of women in the music industry have faced gender discrimination. 37% of LGBTQ+ musicians faced discrimination for their sexuality and over half of trans respondents, have faced discrimination for their gender identity. In an industry characterised by competition and sales, and dominated by those who know a guy that knows a guy, The Name Game provides a place of solace. A space to build community and allyships whilst building connections and getting vital resources and bits of information.

As well as barriers faced because of gender and sexuality, there are further hurdles those attempting to break into the [UK music industry feel they must navigate. There exists, Daisy tells me, an "outdated notion that you have to live in London to work in music,” explaining her plans to expand into other regions and hold in-person events in new locations.
