Team

I joined the Frauenmusikzentrum (f*mz) at the beginning of August 2021, following in the footsteps of Anne Koenen, the previous managing director.

I’ve been a member of f*mz for quite some time and play bass and guitar. My current permanent band project is the punk rock band @bullshitboy.band, where I play bass. I’ve also used the f*mz rooms for other band projects and DJ’d at f*mz events.

In addition to my part-time job in the healthcare sector as an intensive care nurse, I have been working in the cultural sector for years at various levels as a DJ, musician, event organizer and filmmaker. I have also completed a degree in cultural management.

I am Tutku and have been working at the Frauenmusikzentrum in event organization, press and public relations since March 2023.

Since 2011 I have been curating various Hip-Hop and Female Focussed events as a DJ and have played sets for Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah, Yara Bravo and many many more. I play darbuka and saz.

Professionally, I am an event manager and marketing manager and am delighted to be able to contribute my know-how to F*MZ.

I am responsible for the technology at f*mz and share my knowledge and skills in various workshops.

I have been a professional musician, singer, composer, sound engineer and producer for many years. I was born and raised in England, came to Germany in 1990 and have played and sung in many bands since then, including Die Braut haut ins Auge, COW, Oma Hans, Hoo Doo Girl, Mars Needs Women, Bela B. (Die Ärzte).
I have also been working as a studio and live sound engineer since 2000 and have mixed and produced many bands. I often work in the theater as a live technician and sound designer and produce radio plays and compose music for radio plays, film and theater.

We have a three-member board that provides us with advice and support on a voluntary basis. Currently elected to our board are

– Doro Offermann (1st Chairwoman)
