I think, in general, more women need to be involved in music and in the industry - that's been an issue.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's still not as many women in music as men, and I don't really know why. I don't have the answers. I do wish there were more women that played music.
Women's music is underrepresented.
In the music industry, intelligence in women is undervalued.
Its funny, because for females in general - not just in music, but the corporate ladder as well - anything we do has always been harder for us. When it comes to music, the industry wants you to conform, to look like this and to sound like this and do this or that. It makes it harder. It's harder for us to come out and be bosses and lead the pack.
There is definitely a way in which women are raised to be less proactive, less business-oriented, and less willing to jump into creative no man's land. I think media has more of an influence on how we perceive gender identity than anything else.
I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
Music is a male-dominated field.
The music industry is dominated by guys. I work with men 98 percent of the time - producers, arrangers, musicians, engineers.
Because it's difficult to have a career as an artist, and in every situation where it's difficult to have a career, it's even harder for women, for all the other reasons that it's harder in other fiercely contested fields.
Music is art, art is life, and we are who we are, and all of these aforementioned women, unless they should choose not to, will be performing well into the next many decades because they are great artists.
