In partnership with Billboard, FEMME HOUSE presents the first-ever Femmy Awards at Palm Tree Club on March 27 during Miami Music Week. The Femmy Awards honor trailblazers who are making significant contributions to the dance music industry. This intimate celebration recognizes key figures advancing equity and representation in electronic music, recognizing outstanding contributions from producers, engineers, DJs, executives, and allies.

In its inaugural year, the Femmy Awards honor DJ Lady D (named Chicago’s House Music Queen by Chicago Magazine and celebrating 35 years in House Music this year) and DJ Minx (Detroit Techno legend and founder of Women on Wax) with the Pioneer Award for lifetime achievement. The Pioneer Award honors trailblazers who have broken barriers, reshaped the dance and electronic music industries, and paved the way for femme, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ artists, leaving a lasting impact on music, culture, and inclusivity. The Femmy Awards also honor Barbara Tucker and Crystal Waters with the Voice of House Award, which awards the vocalists who have soundtracked the dance music we know and love through generations.

FEMME HOUSE is also proud to recognize Sara Landry as Producer of the Year, celebrating her groundbreaking contributions to electronic music. Known for her innovation, technical mastery, and ability to push the boundaries of sound design, Landry has carved out a distinct place in the industry, influencing the next generation of producers while dominating global dance floors.

As part of FEMME HOUSE’s mission to create equity in music, all proceeds from The Femmy Awards will directly support FEMME HOUSE programming.
