SheRocks Raises Voices in Madrid

SheRocks Foundation presents Raising Voices Madrid: Meet our judges, Emily Weeks, Kelly Ann Collins, Beto Cordeiro, Arantza M. Huarte and Julia Merighe

Music, creativity, and women's leadership took center stage in Madrid this October as the SheRocks Foundation, founded by Dr. Emily Weeks, hosted Raising Voices Madrid 2026 — its first event in Europe and a preview of the SheRocks Festival. We were proud to have UFC's Kelly Ann Collins serve on the jury.

Five Artists, One Stage

Held at Piano Bar Casa Chicote in the UMusic Hotel Madrid, the evening featured showcase performances by Carmen Lillo, Yoly Saa, Gala Nell, Laia Alcolea, and Joanna Crass. All five were selected by +Músicas for their talent, track record, and creative potential, and all five will take part in the Icon Camp Lanzarote, April 5–9, 2027.

Kelly Ann, founder of Unstoppable Future Corporation, joined SheRocks founder Dr. Emily Weeks and fellow jurors Beto Cordeiro, Arantza M Huarte, and Julia Merighe, who selected Carmen Lillo as a confirmed performer for the SheRocks Festival 2027 at Madrid's Teatro Albéniz in March 2027 — the festival's first European edition.

A Vision We're Proud to Support

SheRocks is the vision of Dr. Emily Weeks, who founded the SheRocks Foundation to champion women in music and the creative industries. Under her leadership, SheRocks has grown from a single festival into a global movement giving women the stage, visibility, and support they deserve.

We love Dr. Weeks' vision — and that's why Unstoppable Future Corporation is a proud partner, collaborator, and fiscal sponsor of SheRocks.

Why It Matters

SheRocks works to give women more access, visibility, and opportunity. That mission lines up with ours: when women get access to the stage — in music, technology, or anywhere else — they turn it into opportunity for everyone around them.

The festival began in the Washington, D.C. area in 2025 and expanded to São Paulo in 2026. The next SheRocks Festival will happen in March 2027 in Madrid.
