Women in music UK Music PR Equality Agency . It’s a discussion I think people are bored of having now. Oh, what’s that? Another Reading and Leeds line up announced, and women are angry again about the lack of gender diversity? However, this is a discussion I will keep igniting until change happens.
Gender inequality in music is something that needs to be confronted from the bottom up.UK Music PR Equality Agency
If anything, seeing the same dudes headlining every year could be a massive turn off for women wanting to get into music.
Why bother trying when the industry won’t give us a chance?
According to the Guardian (2017), over two thirds of the performing industry is men. I want to see girls getting the opportunity to smash it like I know we can.
Singer, Melanie Masson has the right idea.
Alongside releasing her new single ‘Why Don’t You Love Me?’, she is creating ‘All About Eve’, a record label.
Run by women for women. Speaking of the gender imbalance at festivals she states.
“Why do they think they’ll sell more tickets if it’s an all-boys line up? Encourage diversity. It’s not an all-male world!”
Making a label to support women is not sexist.
Women have experienced more barriers in their way throughout not only music, but most professions.
Pay inequality; lack of equal opportunity; less chance to progress- I could go on.
Women deserve a helping hand. Not that we need one due to our ability, but we need one as a head-start; something men have experienced their whole careers.
Women are great and the sooner the music industry starts to recognise that and promote that, only then will I stop raging every time Reading and Leeds bring out yet another line-up swarming with cock. Sort it out.
