Introducing “Sharing Spotlight” – Play It Forward
Music is built by people, and we believe in organizations that nurture communities and champion creative talent where it’s needed most.
Sharing Spotlight is an initiative designed to highlight and support music-related communities through bundles curated by them and available on Plugin Boutique. When you purchase through a unique link, a portion of each sale goes directly towards supporting our featured community at no extra cost to you.
We believe the tools we use to make music can do more than inspire creativity: they can help support the communities that make that creativity possible. So whether you’re looking for your next synth, mixing tool, creative effect, or production essential, you can make your purchase go a little further.
Plugins for you. Support for them. Music for everyone.
Our First Sharing Spotlight: SheSaidSo
SheSaidSo is a global, independent community of women, gender non-conforming people, and allies across the music industry. They support these underrepresented groups by organizing events, showcasing artists, and advocating for a more equitable music industry. Founded in 2014, SheSaidSo currently has 18 chapters across the world with over 12,000 members spanning composition, performance, labels, management, agencies, tech, and more.
Their community continues to grow as they support members through mentorship programs, offering guidance from industry professionals, encouraging collaboration among members, and providing access to opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach. SheSaidSo challenges outdated industry structures and empowers the people it supports to gain greater visibility and influence, working towards a more inclusive, diverse, and ultimately more vibrant music scene.
How to Get Involved
All you have to do to support SheSaidSo’s mission is to use this link to purchase the bundle or any other product available on Plugin Boutique. By using the custom link, SheSaidSo will receive 15% on each sale, without any added cost to you. This contribution will help SheSaidSo continue to break down barriers while supporting women and gender non-conforming people who create and work in music.
By getting involved in our Sharing Spotlight initiative, you can purchase plugins you’re already interested in and directly support the communities that help build a better music industry for all of us.
