A documentary about sexism has shaken the music industry in Denmark.

Several Danish artists have reacted to the documentary and responded by cancelling performances.

In the documentary, which was broadcast by Danish Radio at the beginning of the week, 13 female artists talk about a sexist culture in the industry.

Three of the women testify about inappropriate comments from a member of the band The Antonelli Orchestra.

Rapper Tessa and artist Malte Ebert have subsequently cancelled performances with the band.

Other female artists, both anonymous and named, tell of experiencing boundary-pushing behaviour from a male actor and artist.

Both the band member and the male artist are mentioned anonymously in the documentary.

However, they have chosen to comment on it on social media.

To Danish Radio, the band member says he apologises to the female artists who feel he has "contributed verbally to a sexist culture".

The male artist, together with his lawyer, tried to stop the documentary, which failed.

In a post on Instagram, the artist writes that he has never wanted anyone to feel uncomfortable in his company, and that the documentary, according to him, contains several factual errors.
