Discwoman

Discwoman is an all-female booking agency founded by a trio including: Frankie Decaiza Hutchinson who does the outreach for the agency dealing with Public Relations and social media, Emma Burgess-Olson (a.k.a. UMFANG) as the resident DJ, and Christine McCharen-Tran who is the event producer and business powerhouse.[1] Discwoman represents and showcases cis women, transwomen, and gender queer talent in the electronic music scene. The gender imbalance in EDM (electronic dance music) is impossible to ignore with women making up to only ~10.8% [2] of artists in electronic music festivals in 2015[1]. Discwoman gives feminine-identified talent the platform and more visibility by booking them at bigger venues, streamlining the growth process, and ensuring the artists they are paid what they are worth in a male-dominated dance music industry.[1]
