Women in Vinyl
Passion, craft, and community have always been at the heart of the vinyl industry. What it hasn’t always had is equal access. That’s where Women in Vinyl comes in. Since 2023, we’ve proudly partnered with them to support their mission to bring new voices into the world of vinyl. Founded in 2018, Women in Vinyl is a nonprofit organisation working to educate and diversify the vinyl and physical media ecosystem. By spotlighting the people behind the records and amplifying voices in historically male-dominated spaces, they’re breaking down barriers and fostering greater inclusion.
From pressing plants and studios to labels, record stores and classrooms, Women in Vinyl reaches every corner of the vinyl ecosystem. Through scholarships that give access to specialist training, mentorships connecting participants with seasoned experts, and workshops where aspiring professionals can experience pressing, mastering, and distribution firsthand, they create clear career pathways across the industry, opening doors for women and other marginalised communities.

At Marshall, we believe that music culture is strongest when more people can participate. Our support for Women in Vinyl includes funding scholarships to Berklee College of Music, enabling participation in hands-on experiences through programmes such as Lathe Cut Camp, and facilitating access to industry events, including the Making Vinyl conference.
