Mattel is expanding Barbies musical repertoire with DJ Barbie on Barbie Radio after recently introducing Barbie Music Producer dolls, designed to introduce girls to an underrepresented career where women make up less than 3% of music producers and shine a light on the importance of womens stake in the industry. Barbie joined forces with Grammy Award-nominated music producer, songwriter, singer and actress Ester Dean and Girls Make Beats an organization dedicated to expanding the female presence of music producers, DJs and audio engineers to inspire more girls to explore a future in music production.
