WMN Sessions Madrid 2025: When Co-Creation Becomes Real Impact

From September 22 to 24, 2025, Madrid became the epicenter of music co-creation with a gender perspective with the arrival of WMN Sessions feat. Albany at The Music Station (Warner Music Spain). This marked the first international and fully Spanish-language edition of one of We Make Noise’s flagship programs, setting a major milestone for our global community.

Over three intensive days, 24 women songwriters and producers lived, created, and collaborated within a deeply collective framework. The outcome: 12 original songs, several of which were selected for further development with Albany, generating new professional credits and real career opportunities for emerging creators who are now active players in the industry.

Real, Measurable Impact

WMN Sessions Madrid 2025 was diversity, opportunity, and belonging all at once. 100% of the participants were women and gender-expansive people, with strong representation of LGBTQ+ identities and a rich ethnic diversity reflecting the true plurality of today’s music scene.

Most attendees were songwriters, accompanied by producers with experience across different musical genres. But the most powerful data point was this: 100% of the participants said they would take part again. Because when a space is at once safe, professional, and creatively demanding, talent doesn’t just grow — it stays.

As a golden finale, an Amazon Music Original was officially released with the song “Dolerme” by Rosalía, taking a project born from co-creation directly into the global music distribution and listening ecosystem.

Albany: Artistic Vision with Industry Impact

The participation of Albany was key to the program’s creative development. With a genuine, emotional, and bold sound that blends urban, electronic, and experimental elements, Albany is today one of the most influential artists in Spain’s alternative scene, with over 153,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 594,000 monthly listeners on streaming platforms.

Her role went far beyond that of a guest artist: she became a bridge and a catalyst for real opportunities, supporting creative processes that are already bearing professional fruit for the participants.

Amazon Music: A Driver of Global Visibility

The strategic backing of Amazon Music Spain was crucial in amplifying the reach of WMN Sessions Madrid. Their support not only strengthened the visibility of emerging talent, but also materialized in a concrete milestone: the official release of one of the songs as an Amazon Music Original.

Amazon Music invested not only in content, but in the cultural, social, and professional value of the project, proving that equity can also be part of the strategy of major platforms.

Alongside Amazon Music, She Sounds (Warner Music Spain) served as the program’s main sponsor, providing the physical venue and securing Albany’s participation. She Is The Music contributed institutional support and international projection, while Promusicae, as local partner, strengthened ties with the Spanish music ecosystem and boosted media visibility.

In the Participants’ Own Words

The protagonists say it better than any impact report:

“I felt that my artistic vision was valued and that I was part of an environment where collaboration and respect were essential.” — Susana Alonso Vázquez

“I experienced incredible support, trust, and freedom to explore. It was an enriching experience in every sense.” — Gaia Fusani

WMN Sessions Madrid confirmed what we at We Make Noise already know: investing in co-creation with a gender perspective is not only an ethical choice — it is a strategic industry decision.

We continue to build a model where the talent of women and gender-diverse creators doesn’t ask for permission: it takes space, builds industry, and transforms structures.

And this — spoiler alert — is just the beginning.
