International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated annually on March 8, is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for advancing gender equality. IWD has been around for well over a century, with the first IWD marked in 1911.

In 2026, IWD marks an extraordinary milestone: 115 years of collective action, advocacy, and progress toward gender equality. For more than a century, IWD has helped drive transformative change. Each generation has built on the courage of those before it, pushing boundaries and redefining what is possible.’

London-based, Tina is a relative newcomer to the scene, but not to the music – jazz was her first language. A few years ago, she walked away from a professional life working with freelance journalists and threw herself into the music she had been making all her life. First, she began listening again. “I listened at work, at home, in the car, in the street, at concerts, gigs, jams, opening my ears to music across every genre. It took me over.  And I began to sing again. A riper voice maybe – but a true one.”

With a love of great women singers, from Carmen Macrae, to Annie Ross, Sheila Jordan to Jessye Norman, Tina has her own take, telling stories through songs old, new and unusual and - increasingly - writing her own lyrics. With her torchy voice, Tina sings from experience, reaching out to audiences with a warm, authentic jazz vibe that is unique and moving.

Tina’s upcoming album Moon Over Mildmay is being released on March 6th, with an album launch on February 18th. You can find out more here

This edition is full of women from across the globe. The dream is that Women in Jazz Media does not need to exist. The dream is that everyone across the world is heard, valued and supported, irrelevant of gender, age, ethnicity, disability or which instrument they play. A place where we all just talk about and enjoy great music. We are far from being there. In the age of AI, authenticity is even more important. This magazine is real. These are real artists, real writers, real music and real images. It is our honour to present stories, experiences, pain and joy through imagery, music, words and support from the contributors in this edition.

This is an interactive magazine, so please do click away to visit websites, buy music, watch videos etc, or you can download as a pdf. Please take your time.  Take a moment away from your phone and enjoy the photography on a larger screen. Please share the incredible artists you see here with your communities. Together we can support each other, we can inspire each other, and we can enjoy art, in all forms, together.
