Top Dutch male DJs earn an average of € 900,000 more a year than female counterparts

There is structural inequality in the Dutch electronic music industry between the incomes of male and female DJs. While the sector is breaking international records, top male DJs earn an average of € 900,000 a year more than their female counterparts. These are among the findings of research by ABN AMRO, sponsor of DGTL Festival. The same inequality applies to up-and-coming DJs. Despite the presence of female talent and interest from fans, men are booked significantly more often at every level. To promote change, DGTL and ABN AMRO will be presenting the documentary Her Sound and a large-scale art installation developed by talented students of the DGTL Academy during the upcoming edition of the festival.
