Thank you to the Recording Academy, for asking me to join their beautiful, inaugural, celebration of women in the mix. Some of us are on stage braving our all, some are behind the stage holding things up, some work in the studio (which hasn’t always been the safest place for women), writing, engineering, producing or publishing the songs, some of us are managing artists, or booking them or managing the businesses trying to convince your artists not to use the pyrotechnics or the state of the art video wall so that they actually make some money from touring, some of you work at record labels or publishing companies and even run them. All of you are BRAVE. And all of you are often one of the first or the few in your field. I want to tell you, we see you! We celebrate you!! You’re not only in the mix, it’s time for you to be the main ingredient! Nothing has any flavor or depth without your contribution. But here’s the thing, there aren’t enough of you. We still need more women in all roles in music. It has never been easy to be here, not as a woman. We’ve struggled with unsafe conditions, bias, lack of recognition and more. In fact, last year, the Recording Academy released a Women in the Mix study and the headline said it all: Women in the music industry are underrepresented, overworked, and underpaid. Women make up more than half the population and audiences for music. But last year, less than 35% of artists on the Hot 100 Billboard charts were women — and that was the highest number ever. Only 6.5 % of music producers were women. 6.5%! Less than 20% of songwriters were women. Across last year’s 100 top songs, only 14 featured a female artist with a nonperforming female songwriter. And the data shows that female artists are overwhelmingly working with men… but not women. In fact, nearly a quarter of the 1,200 most popular songs of the last 12 years were penned primarily by just 12 men! Think about that. Those 12 men are shaping audience perceptions and beliefs about romance, relationships, wealth, health and any number of other topics. This statistic is actually something we can change. Just add women to your sessions! Add women to the mix! Hire women.
