Supporting Women & Queer Individuals – Our Initiative

Learn more:

There’s no denying that the industry is still a heavily male-dominated space. We are a female-led organisation striving to make the music industry a more supportive and nurturing environment for women and queer individuals. 

At ELFCAT, our engineers are mainly women and queer individuals, who have all experienced inappropriate behaviour in music studios. That is why we have made it our mission to provide a safe recording space where artists can feel free to express themselves without judgment or fear for their safety.
