Music doesn't care about gender, the colour of a person's skin or their belief system - it speaks to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Yet despite music's ability to transcend human boundaries, the truth about the music industry is that it's profoundly male dominated. Apra Amcos has made a commitment to better understanding and addressing gender inequality in our industry. Our purpose is to cultivate an environment where everyone can aspire towards a career in the music industry regardless of their gender. It says our female members are strong and our male members support their success.
