Toolroom Records, a label by renowned DJ and producer Mark Knight, is helping to combat the gender imbalance in the music industry through a new platform dubbed #WeAreListening created by Victoria in 2018. Whether women are just starting to learn how to write music or already have managers, the platform is open to women at any level in the industry.
Victoria’s role at Toolroom is so varied, every day is different and somehow she still manages to take time to create change within the industry.

Hello and welcome back to women in music, the podcast sharing the tales of brilliant minds in music; they all just happen to be female.
I’m your host, Millie Cotton, and for this week’s episode, I sat down with Olivia Dean.
You might have seen Olivia Dean roaming the country in an open yellow van this summer - a summer without live music wasn’t an option for Olivia.
Her yellow truck tour was a way to maintain the momentum she’s been building ever since her poignant debut single, ‘Reason To Stay’, caught the eye of London Label AMF and since, Olivia has amassed over 8 million streams on Spotify alone.
An emotional and confessional songwriter, her musical journey started at a very young age, resulting from parents who encouraged her natural talents before recognising them herself.
From her ingenious truck tour to her dulcet tones to her role-model potential, Olivia Dean is fast becoming a household name and an artist who knows exactly how to draw a silver lining from even the darkest of clouds. I know I say this every episode, but it was a real pleasure to chat with Olivia Dean for this episode, and here it is….
Olivia's latest single, 'Be My Own Boyfriend,' is out now. You can find Olivia on Instagram @oliviadeano.

Welcome back to women in music, the podcast sharing the tales of brilliant minds in music, they all just happen to be female.
It is SO good to be back for season three of the podcast, which has been supported by the Arts Fund Council, so a huge shout out to them for their support.
Our first guest of the season is singer-rapper Ashnikko, who is on an astronomical rise. She’s just released her hotly anticipated DEMIDEVIL mixtape which has gained critical acclaim from the Observer to NME. She’s been named as one to watch by Vogue, Elle and the Sunday Times Style Magazine for her acerbic lyrics that swing punches at the patriarchy as well as promoting sexual liberation.
Since the release of her Hi, It’s Me EP in 2019, Ashnikko has gained nearly 2 million followers on TikTok, with Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish stating their fans too. Her new mixtape is heavily inspired by naughties icons like Avril Lavigne and Kelis and sees her collaborate with the ethereal pop star Grimes and underground New York rapper Princess Nokia too.

Tipped as “one to watch” by NME, Mixmag, Billboard, DJ Mag and BBC R1’s Pete Tong, TSHA is a London based producer who is quickly emerging as one of the most exciting young artists around. Her forthcoming EP “Flowers”, without doubt her most ambitious and accomplished body of work so far, was released by Ninja Tune in October and featured collaborations with Gabrielle Aplin and Malian griot music group Trio Da Kali.
Entirely self-taught, TSHA released her debut EP “Dawn” in 2018, setting out her stall as an artist with an ear for warm, groove-laden basslines and bright, melodic hooks. Her follow-up single “Sacred” - released in 2019 - immediately caught the ear of Simon Green aka Bonobo, who included it on his “fabric presents” compilation album.
TSHA wrote her track ‘Sister’ during lockdown after she found out she had an older half sister. Since, she’s been selected as a BBC Radio One Future Artist and has featured on notable playlists on both Apple and Spotify, and also appearing on a billboard in Times Square for the latter!
In this episode of Women in Music, Millie speaks to TSHA about getting started as a producer, collaborating, DJing everything from weddings to corporate events to festivals, female collectives and loads more.

Hello and welcome back to Women in Music, the podcast sharing the tales and careers of modern singular voices in music, they all just happen to be female.
For this week’s episode Millie spoke to singer/songwriter and poet Arlo Parks.
Growing up in South West London, half Nigerian, a quarter Chadian and a quarter French, Arlo Parks learned to speak French before English.
She has always been introspective; as a child she’d write short stories and create fantasy worlds, later journaling and then obsessing over spoken word poetry, reading American poets such as Ginsberg and Jim Morrison and watching old Chet Baker performances on YouTube.
Fast forward to 2020 and Arlo Parks has announced the release of her debut album - Collapsed in Sunbeams, which is to be released on transgressive records on 29th jan 2021. She has graced the cover of Evening Standard Magazine, NME and Dork Magazine as well as being included on the 2020 Dazed 100 List.
Arlo Parks has performed stand-out shows for COLORS and NPR's Tiny Desk series and was one of only three artists to perform at Glastonbury this year. She was recently asked by Phoebe Bridgers to accompany her for a Radio 1 Piano Session, where the pair performed a cover of Radiohead's 'Fake Plastic Trees'
Arlo Parks is, without a doubt one, of the most exciting new artists at the moment and it is such a privilege to have her on the podcast.
I hope you enjoy the episode and thanks for listening!

Hello and welcome back to women in music, the podcast sharing the tales and careers of modern singular voices in music - they all just happen to be female.
I’ve been sitting on this episode for a while and waiting for the right moment to release it. What with the government having just announced no extra funding for the industry and suggesting people within the creative industries should retrain, now seems like the time when this episode is more relevant that ever.
Tre Stead has been a tour manager for almost two decades, working with artists like Jessie Ware, Laura Marling, Father John Misty and many others.
When lockdown happened, Tre was on tour with Frank Turner. They had to abandon their tour and head home, not knowing when they would return to work.
As you’ll hear, Tre has since found another job in an entirely different industry and still has no idea when she’ll be able to get back to her career that she’s worked so hard to establish.
If you’ve found yourself in a similar position, we’ve made a resource pack over on Instagram which includes emergency funding, mentoring opportunities and charities where donations can be made too.
I hope everyone’s doing okay and thanks for listening.

Danielle has over 1m followers on instagram and her dance content is intrinsic to all she does; Danielle created the Danielle Peazer Method, help tone the body in the same way a professional dancer does through a number of specially curated exercises, while helping people gain confidence and a real achievement along the way.

Welcome back to Women in Music with Millie Cotton.
On this week's episode is international DJ , producer and record label founder Sam Divine.
Dubbed the Queen of Defected Records, Sam Divine knows everything there is to know about DJing the world's biggest clubs and festivals. She also knows exactly what to play and when to play it. Sam fronts the Defected Radio show and is well and truly the First Lady of the label.
DVINE Sounds, Sam's own record label, champions up and coming artists, propelling them and their music into the spotlight.
And somehow, in between all that, Sam finds time to make and put out her own music. Her remixes of garage anthems 'Flowers' and 'My Desire' are just a couple of her absolute bangers.
From where and how she began her career; to Defected; to running a record label; to making music; to touring, there's not a lot we don't chat about in this episode of Women in Music.
A huge thanks to Sam Divine for taking time to speak to me for this episode, you can find her @samdivinedj or @dvinesounds

Welcome back to Women in Music with Millie Cotton.
Obsessed with Sally Rooney's Normal People on BBC? Me too. I am very excited to share that my first guest for this season Juliet Martin, who soundtracked the show.
Juliet is the founder of Silverstream Music and her experience stretches over a broad range of skills such as publishing, management and music supervision. More recently, Juliet soundtracked Normal People, the adaption of Sally Rooney's hit novel of the same title.
Normal People is a beautifully complicated story of young love and the soundtrack connects us better to that story than ever before.
There's a few familiar bangers from the likes of Frank Ocean and Carly Rae Jepson. Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek is pulled out of the archive and much to some hardcore OC fans dismay, it works exceptionally well in that moment. Many more songs weave through the adaptation, immersing us in prose-rich scenes that aren't articulated on screen.
It's been a busy few months for Juliet Martin and I am *buzzing* that she found time to speak to me about the process of soundtracking such a monumental TV adaption.
This series was recording during COVID-19, over the phone, but hopefully that doesn't detract anything from our conversation.
