ABOUT

Lyne Bnc is a Brussels-based consultant, trainer and strategist working on Gender, Discrimination, Safety in the music ecosystem. 

From the socio-cultural world to the music sector, she has been running events and curating platforms for international NGOs, feminists collectives, LGBTI+ organisations, and many more.

Starting in 2011, she has been a peace education trainer in CISV France, CISV Belgium and CISV International. In 2019 with CISV International, she was one of the key members of the LGBTQI+ working group, where she created an international analysis strategy for practices, policies, behaviour norms regarding gender and sexual/romantic orientation. Over the course of nine years she ran numerous trainings locally, nationally, and internationally on diversity, human rights, conflict resolution, and sustainable development.

During her time at the ERG art school, she was surrounded by multidisciplinary artists from all realms. With her right arm by her side, they co-launched ERGOTE Radio, an live radio documenting the creative projects developed by students and teachers. From creating the overall strategy, managing logistics, to establishing programme grids, she helped create the foundation of this radio that still airs to this day. After graduating in Digital Arts, she then enrolled in a Masters in Cultural Management at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, where she wrote her thesis on the first "Women's Culture Heritage Day" of Belgium.

Not afraid of big-scale opportunities, she joined the team of The Belgian Pride asbl to organise the 2019 edition, aka the last in-person Belgian Pride event of this scale in Brussels before the covid-19 pandemic. She then got hired in 2020 to run the 2021 edition as well as working on durable working practices for the ever-changing organisation.

In 2018, she opened another path in the music industry, and quickly noticed the lack of FINTA people from as early as the first stages of the music world. That was the spark that helped her launch the first Femme Jam Sessions in 2019 (jam session for FINTA people*) in partnership with The Crazy Circle.

In 2021, she fully committed to her career in the Music sector. Starting off as a music manager for upcoming bands like with Astrid B., Simon Cornelis, and Lou K, she applied her organisational skills to supporting the launch of several projects supporting FINTA people and better working conditions, and answers various calls from the sector to provide guidance and advice. 

From February 2022 to February 2024, she created and ran as host the live show She They Sounds on Radio Vacarme, where she interviewed FINTA* people active in the music sector.

Lyne Bnc is now a recognised ressource person in the French-speaking Belgian Music scene when it comes to gender-based violence and its intersecting discriminations, safety and prevention at work, and the ecosystem of music in Belgium. 

She has developed a consulting offer supporting different organisations and structures into identifying their current practices and developing new ones, around the themes of governance, representation, safety and security, accessibility, and job quality.
