Across a tour of events that have seen female and gender non-conforming people of the Australian music industry celebrated and elevated, the One Of One organisation has taken more incredible strides forward in effecting change within the industry’s existing structure of professional acknowledgement.
Their focus on uplifting the Australian industry’s strong and diverse community of individuals who are constantly blazing new trails of innovation and creativity wavering, One Of One hosted a tour of successful events throughout Women’s History Month in March; in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and in Darwin.
The tour, organised by the One Of One team – Sarah Hamilton, Bec Young and Joanna Cameron – and facilitated by an extensive list of sponsors and supporters, featured a series of incredible speakers, panels and performances including Jen Cloher, Beckah Amani, Caiti Baker, Eliza Hull and more.
“We are so grateful to everyone who helped make these events possible, and also made them so unique and special. From our partners and sponsors who help make the events happen, to every staff member and of course to our incredible keynote speakers and performers, we are so thankful to you. We are proud of the events and look forward to sharing them again next year”. One Of One
