Why It's Important?
The event underscores the ongoing efforts
to increase female representation and support within the music industry. By honoring influential women like Rhone and Moroney, She Is The Music aims to inspire and empower more women to pursue careers in music. This initiative is crucial in an industry historically dominated by men, as it fosters a supportive network and encourages mentorship. The recognition of women leaders not only celebrates their achievements but also sets a precedent for future generations, promoting diversity and inclusion in the music business.
