One of Alex’s biggest passions is music. From early childhood, Alex explored various ways to be involved in this field. From taking violin, viola, and piano lessons to playing in orchestras, participating in a band project, and studying musicology, Alex eventually found the perfect niche.

Inspired by SoundSysters, Alex completed an apprenticeship to become an event technician specializing in sound. Attending concerts, supporting other artists, sharing knowledge, and creating a community all inspire Alex to work in this field.

Alex also enjoys conducting sound workshops, believing that sharing skills and knowledge is a feminist act that empowers other FLINTA* individuals to transform the sound industry. To Alex, SoundSysters represents not just a sound crew but a commitment to diversity, education, and the transformative power of music.

Antto’s journey through life has been one of passion, curiosity, and creativity. Multi-instrumentalist Musician, Sound Engineer, Producer and Filmmaker who was born and raised in Chile. From a young age, They developed a deep love for music and instruments.

Asly is a multilingual, multicultural audio engineer based in Berlin, Germany. Her diverse heritage, half Colombian and half Arab (Palestinian from the ’48 ), informs her passion for bridging cultures through sound.

Her journey began with a love for music, particularly metal guitar. This passion led her to pursue sound engineering studies in both Israel and Berlin. Starting her career with a focus on studio recording, mixing, and mastering, she later worked as well in a dedicated post-production studio where she learned the art of crafting sound for the media and TV.

In 2016, she started to expand her expertise to live sound engineering ,due to the influence of several friends in bands who needed an FOH operator. Undeterred by the challenges of a male-dominated industry in Israel, she found a supportive community in Berlin. There, she completed her Bachelor’s degree while actively engaging with the FLINTA community, contributing her musical talents to various bands and collaborative projects.

In 2022, driven by a desire to promote inclusivity within the audio field, she joined the Soundsysters collective. Through workshops and collaborations, she actively contributes to diversifying the soundscape.

Today, Asly is a versatile audio engineer known for her dedication to excellence. She operates comfortably in various settings, working as both a FOH and monitor engineer, for diverse events, venues, concerts, and tours, as well as in studio settings or as a mixer-mastering engineer.

Notably, she has collaborated with different artists like Tchkr, Kafvka, Pablo Brooks etc. and upcoming tour dates with Mayberg. Beyond technical expertise, Asly brings a unique cultural perspective and a commitment to inclusivity to every project. She excels at capturing the essence of each sound, creating powerful sonic experiences that resonate with audiences across cultural boundaries. Additionally, she continues to contribute her creativity as a metal guitarist and a screamer in the new metal project “Void Before the Altar.”

telecommunication engineer interested in technology as a tool for social change. Works in software engineering but  steeping into the sound engineering world, to support the struggles in the community. Learning sound engineering supporting solidarity events for multiple causes.

Karen is a sound engineer for conceptual recording projects and individual live performances. In both cases she focuses on the musical piece combined with specific room acoustics, creating auditive scenarios.

Born in Buenos Aires she started as a recording studio assistant in 2011 for pop and indie music. Since then she had traveled through many countries collecting experience in studio recordings and live performances. Based in Berlin since 2014 she focuses on her work as music producer and sound designer as well. She collaborated in Studios like Hansa Studios, Chez Cherie, Black Bird Studios, with bands like Tocotronic, Ätna, Lobsterbomb between others.

Kathleen is a live sound engineer and A/V technician based in Berlin.

Music has been a part of Kathleen’s life from the very beginning. She played classical violin throughout childhood, and eventually discovered her true calling: audio engineering. In 2017, she graduated with a Bachelor of Music from Berklee College of Music, with focuses in audio engineering and jazz violin performance.

Since then, Kathleen worked in live events, recording studios, and game audio. She holds a deep passion for bringing communities together with music, and led non-profit music outreach programs in US & Germany. Since meeting fellow crew member Maya at a female:pressure event in 2018, Kathleen worked with Soundsysters to provide hands-on learning opportunities for FLTI* people in sound, and amplify underrepresented communities.

As much as the underground music scene aspires to see itself as gender equal, more often than not behind the mixing desk at concerts and parties the hands are those of male sound technicians. For Lola Tseytlin, Russian born, Israeli raised and Berlin based, that reality is all too familiar. As an active participant and event organizer in the Israeli alternative music scene of the early 2000’s, often Lola has been the sole female sound technician, MC or musician to be found among the rough edged, “do it yourself” spaces which young Israeli culture jammers and street artists would reclaim for their own, transforming deserted factory spaces into thriving community centers, or rotting old train stations into days-long music festivals and techno raves. During the wild years of the Tel-Aviv scene in a decade that started with a Palestinian uprisal and racial riots, and which ended with a economic depression, Lola has been at the forefront of sound system and rave sound system crews, organizing summer school to the neighbourhood kids, as well as parties, concerts, political and solidarity events. Under those conditions, the “Do It Yourself” approach was not just an ideology but a necessity, which gave Lola the chance to not only be in charge of sound systems, but actually build them herself.

Growing up in Israel is a struggle, especially as a woman, as a minority and as a member of a counter culture. Lola’s experience, in her journey to claim her own position as a female in a male dominated scene, is a central experience in her journey as well as her current project, “SoundSysters”, along with fellow German native sound tech Eddy (Adina) Fellows. The two, since joining forces in 2013, have been amplifying and managing sound systems all over Berlin, but are as passionate about their work as well as about empowering fellow women, non-binary and transpeople to step up, and follow their passions. Their work has included giving out sound system managing workshops to immigrant women, as well as being in charge of high profile live shows in Berlin, such as the Kumbia Queers shows. Now, working as full time team, an event with the “SoundSysters” in charge of the sound system, benefits from the shared experience and dedication of its members, but it also means being part of an ongoing project that is a “business” as much as it is about community, solidarity and vision.

For me, sound and music are naturally connected to community life, and to social and political spheres. I have always been fascinated in the place of sound and music in peoples’ life and in human history. For the last decade, I have been creating music and sound art, DJing, and mixing live concerts/performances. I also have trained and worked as a music therapist. I try to combine my feminist perspective in my everyday practice, working with musicians and artists, teaching sound and DJ workshops to FLTI people, and in different projects that combine my passion for music and sound with a political feminist perspective.

In recent years, I have been working as a sound engineer in many venues in Berlin including: Südblock, Werkstaat der Kulturen, ://about blank, Mensch Meier, Schwules Museum and others, and in festivals such as Fusion and At.tension. I have been composing soundscapes and music for various dance and performance projects, and help with many soli-events in the city with sound mixing and sound production.

Stefs approach to sound and sountechnic comes from a live drummers perspective.
Stef loves and follows the idea, that the soundtechnic field aims more variety in terms of genderidentity, as the stage itself could turn in the same time into a more comfortable place for more different identities playing music.
Soundsysters is for her a collective to share ideas, thoughts and practice, for more flinta empowerment on, in front of and behind the stage.
Stef does sound/stage-hand building up/down for soli-events.
Upcoming Ideas, future whises and visions is e.g. to create a bigger flinta-drummers network, to work more on sound all around the drums, creating workshops like “how to do my first soundcheck on stage”.

Lane was born in Northwest Germany and grew up in a small village.

As a teenager in the 1990s, they started getting interested in different kinds of music, and also playing guitar and singing.

Lane did a two week internship at a sound studio in Oldenburg for profession orientation when they were 17 years old. They would have liked to become an audio-engineer after finishing school. But at the time, it didn’t work out due to different reasons.

Lane was living in Oldenburg for six years, where they joined a group that set up DIY concerts in a well equipped self-organized centre. This is where Lane had the chance to get in touch with live sound, and gathered experiences in the following years.

In 2007 Lane moved to Bremen where they restarted playing guitar after a break. They started playing and singing in bands which became an important part of their life.

In Bremen Lane joined a queer-feminist collective that sets up DIY concerts and kept gathering experiences in doing live sound occasionally.

In 2016 Lane moved to Berlin where they joined SoundSysters. From 2017 to 2019, Lane was trained in audio engineering at the SAE Institute Berlin, fulfilling a long-standing dream. During their training Lane specialized in recording and mixing in music production, and post-production for film.
After graduating Lane started working as supervisor in the audio department of SAE Institute. Also, Lane teaches audio engineering at Berlin-based Street College and works on various projects.

Raquel started to kick ass in 2005 in Madrid. Working as a promoter in the underground scene, she noticed the lack of women behind tech creating the music and mixing it.

In 2010 she moved to Berlin and started to DJ in DIY events to create a better party space for women and trans* people. In the last years Raquel became one of the most visible DJs in Berlin and underground European music scenes.

In 2012 she started the party line Trash Me which became an incredible success in Berlin’s night life. Raquel also conceptualized and developed the popular party lines Dis/Tanz and Autopoesis. Her focus is to empower women and trans* people in the night scene through loud, fat, and buzzy beats!

In 2016 she joined the SoundSysters Crew and has been an amazing force of inspiration and solidarity. She offers DJ Workshops, generously sharing her expertise and empowering people to mix sound and to be loud and powerful.

When she’s not DJing, Raquel works as a light and sound technician in different venues and public events.
