Top MENA Artists Push Beyond the ‘Female' Prefix at ‘Women in Music'
Top MENA Artists Push Beyond the 'Female' Prefix at 'Women in Music' Co-hosted by SceneNoise, Little Pink Book, Takwene, and Yellow Tape Records, 'Women in Music' brought together some of Egypt's top artists and music industry professionals. Looking back on the first 'Women in Music' event in Cairo, a first-of-its-kind intimate gathering, co-hosted by SceneNoise, Little Pink Book and Takwene at Yellow Tape Records, Maadi, which brought together some of Egypt's top artists and industry professionals to connect, inspire and celebrate the women shaping the region's music scene. As part of the event program, SceneNoise curated an artist-focused panel, titled 'Beyond the 'Female' Prefix: Artists Pushing the Envelope of the MENA's Music Scene.' At this panel, which was moderated by Munky Elbakry, MO4's Managing Director, the spotlight was on five influential Arab female artists: Maii Waleed, Blu Fiefer, Dina El Wedidi, Perrie, and WAVE. We heard their stories, inspirations, and career journeys, as well as their viewpoints on the region's music industry and what needs to be changed. The panellists also shared valuable insights and key strategies on how emerging female artists can break barriers, grow their careers, assert themselves in the scene and push their music to global prominence. Lebanese artist and founder of the independent record label Mafi Budget, Blu Fiefer, discussed how creating 'female-only' playlists can be limiting, as it boxes artists into a separate category rather than integrating them into mainstream industry conversations. Egyptian folk sensation Dina El Wedidi reflected on the lack of experimentation within the music scene, advising emerging talents to take risks, embrace new sounds, and prioritize their artistic vision instead of playing it safe. She also emphasized the need for social media platforms to support and enable such experimentation.

Little Pink Book & AlphaTheta Bring Their Female DJ Workshops to Dubai
The free workshops, led by top regional DJs, offer aspiring female artists hands-on access to gear, mentorship, and performance opportunities. Apr 07, 2025 After a successful debut in November 2024, Little Pink Book is once again joining forces with AlphaTheta to bring back their Start From Scratch MENA DJ workshop series in Dubai. Set to take place on April 9th and the 10th, the initiative returns with a mission to give emerging female talent free, practical access to the region's growing electronic music scene. Start From Scratch, founded by AlphaTheta (formerly known as Pioneer DJ), is a global initiative aimed at empowering underrepresented communities through hands-on, community-led DJ workshops. In the MENA region, the project partners with Dubai Sound Academy and Little Pink Book to connect female-identifying artists with cutting-edge equipment, foundational skills, and industry mentorship. This second edition brings heavyweight guidance from within the scene. Abu Dhabi-based Lebanese Afro-house artist Off Kourse and Dubai-based Egyptian DJ/producer ADIRA will lead the sessions, offering technical instruction and sharing insights on navigating the MENA music landscape. Both artists bring distinctive regional experience and a passion for breaking down barriers for new talent. 'It's great to be bringing Start From Scratch back to Dubai,' says Roberta Hickey, founder of Little Pink Book. 'We had so many amazing women join us last year, and I can't wait to see who starts their DJ journey with us this time around.' Workshops are completely free and will be held at Soho Garden, one of Dubai's premier nightlife venues. Participants can choose from two workshop tracks based on their experience level. A select group will also be invited to join the Start From Scratch Accelerator Programme, which includes a fully funded DJ course at Dubai Sound Academy—culminating in a live performance slot at Soho Garden.
