The music industry, where creativity should know no gender, as we know still faces significant inequality, in all music genres. Our recent study of the top 200 grossing films of 2023 showed that only 10% of composers were women, compared to 90% men. donne-uk.org/film-scores-by…

Overwhelmed with joy from this week’s celebration! 🌟 So grateful for everyone who helped me break the Guinness World Records with the Let HER MUSIC Play™ Campaign for @donne_uk. Finally got signatures on the certificate! Missing a few, but it feels complete. Thank you all! 👏🏆#LetHerMusicPlay

When many of us got together again to celebrate our Guinness World Records #LetHerMusicPlay for Donne Foundation Brazil Embassy UK My never ending smile will tell you all that needs to be said ❤️ X doesn’t allow me to tag all of you! please tag yourselves in the comments ⬇️ 🎵by #sophiapatsalides

So, I cried mid-speech at House of Lords during World Woman Foundation's event last week. First feeling: embarrassment. Expected judgment, found empathy instead. To every change-maker feeling vulnerable while pushing for impact: you're not alone in this. Your work matters. 💫

In case you were planing to start something new today (but haven't done it yet!) However late you think you are: just start! "Thinking Will Not Overcome Fear But Action Will" W. Clement Stone Happy Monday! Billboard credit yuch.studio

I’m incredibly honoured (and still a little emotional) to share that I’ve been awarded an MBE – Member of the Order of the British Empire in His Majesty The King’s 2025 Birthday Honours List for my services to music and gender equality. donne-uk.org/gabriella-di-l…

Talk to yourself like you’d talk to someone you love. (Even when you miss the high note.)

Reminder: - You are allowed to take up space. - You are aloud to be loud. - You are allowed to be seen. - Your are allowed to be YOU.

Fear loves busy chats inside our heads... I have been trying listing these thoughts out loud when that happens! I feel that it gets way less scary when I do that...
