DGTL Academy class of 2026: Six talents on growth, community, and being seen
In an open and honest conversation, the six talents of the DGTL Academy Class of 2026 reflect on what it means to grow as a woman in today’s music and arts sector.
They speak about the challenges that are still present behind the scenes, from finding their voice to claiming space with confidence, while also sharing personal experiences of navigating an industry that continues to evolve. At the same time, they speak about hope, community, and the importance of being supported and truly seen as they shape their own paths forward.
“The fact that we are sitting here is progress, and hopefully it will become a normal thing.”
While progress is happening, equal opportunities are still far from guaranteed. That is why we, together with ABN AMRO, are committed to accelerating change by creating space for female talent to develop, connect, and take meaningful next steps in their careers.
Through the DGTL Academy, we aim to nurture a new generation of artists, providing them with the tools, platform, and network to thrive creatively and professionally. Watch the video and meet the talents of the DGTL Academy Class of 2026 below.
