GoGirlsMusic.com is a unique organization that focuses on advancing the careers of independent female artists. Founded in early 1996, the organization works tirelessly to help artists through education, networking, and events like the GoGirlsMusicFest, Invasion of the GoGirls during SXSW, GoGirls @ Folk Alliance and more. Artists who become involved have the opportunity to perform, have their work reviewed, and get involved with a hardworking group of women who "get things done" in the music scene. The only requirement to join is at least one female in a group. We support ALL genres of music!
Madalyn Sklar started the organization in 1996 with a vision of bringing together independent women musicians from around the country. 12 years later, GoGirlsMusic.com has become a welcome destination for women in music through networking and events. GoGirls produces the annual GoGirlsMusicFest, Invasion of the GoGirls, GoGirls @ Folk Alliance and more.
In the last 9 years, Sklar has spearheaded well over 100 benefit showcases for various organizations including the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls, MusiCares, American Liver Foundation, The Lynne Cohen Foundation for Ovarian Cancer Research and more. She has spoken on music panels at 2NMC, Dewey Beach, Dfest, DIY Convention, Folk Alliance, Hyperactive Music Festival, Invasion of the GoGirls, Millennium Music Conference, NEMO, PLAY:stl, Rockrgrl and South Park Music Festival. She has been named one of 10 Powerful Women in Music by Curve magazine and one of the 15 People You Should Know In the Biz by Indie-Music.com.
Sklar is also a music business coach & consultant, blogger, social networks expert and author. Her goal is to help indie artists achieve greater success in the music business by working smarter not harder.
