Majeures presents Place your Bets: 90 minutes to test and understand everything of the new projects committed to women & gender equality in pop music industry!

Majeur-e-s is the first inclusive directory of women, trans and non-binary professionals in the music industry in France.

Launched in May 2022 by shesaid.so France, this platform covers a wide range of professions and musical aesthetics and aims to accelerate change by breaking out the automatisms of self-interest and diversifying the collaborations to become a true actor of equality and parity.

Majeur-e-s is supported by Spotify, and by the Ministry of Culture, the CNM, Sacem and Adami.

Sophie Ziessel is the founder of POLI FONI, and is Customer Success Manager at ADELIOM. She shares her vision of the pop music industry through training sessions on various innovative themes: the digital revolution of the sector over the last 15 years, the sound identity of brands and video games and the importance of data in the music industry in 2023.

Since 2021, she has been in charge of the shesaid.so France Strasbourg branch, and has joined the digital agency Adeliom, specialised in User Experience (UX). It is in this agency, in Strasbourg, that the inclusive digital directory Majeures.org was created and developed in 2022, a project of shesaid.so France and supported by Spotify, the CNM, the Ministry of Culture and the SACEM.

Stéphane Amiel is the founder and general manager of the festival Les Femmes s'en Mêlent, which was founded in Paris on March 8th, 1997. For 26 years, the event has been an alternative to the under-representation of women artists on most musical stages by offering an ambitious program and becoming one of the first international festivals defending women's musical creation.

With more than 500 female musicians and composers programmed since 1997, including the first stages of Christine & The Queens, Emilie Simon, Jeanne Added, Catpower, Feist, Soko, M.I.A, Yelle, Regina Spector, Nouvelle Vague, Daphné, La Grande Sophie, Corine, Austra, Courtney Barnett, Irène Drésel, and its national outreach, Les Femmes s'en Mêlent has become a reference both for its influence in the sphere of popular music as well as for its action in favor of gender equality.
A pioneer, in short.
