It is the music that Gracie Abrams will honor for a special event in the Peppermint in Los Angeles later this month, the Advocacy Group announced on Thursday for an evening, where 50 women are also in business, while trying to build a larger community for the next generation of women in the industry.

The event called Women, who share the limelight, is planned for March 27 with Live Nation’s partnership, while The Hollywood reporter serves as a media partner of the event. During the event, Dr. Stacy Smith from the Annenberg Inclusion Initative from USC together with the CEO of Tunecore, the CEO of Tunecore, Andrea Gleeson, present the latest findings from this year’s annual inclusion in the music business report.

In order to strive to raise each other, she asks the music that the 50 women are honored to bring a woman to the event at the beginning of her career to build up her networks and create more opportunities to develop her career.

“Our ethos is women who support women. We asked our award winners to bring women who see them as an emerging stars of the next generation of women ” Th. “This is how you create real community. If women really create sisterhood and community and drive each other forward, we will see real changes. ”

She is the music and honors both Abrams and her team mainly by women, with Gerson Abram’s “an artist who goes the walk” to represent the values ​​of the organization.

“Being surrounded by such an incredible team of women has changed the way I see everything,” said Abrams in an explanation. “They are not only incredibly talented in their individual skills, but also intends to support each other. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from each of them. I feel very honored to be recognized by her, an organization that has contributed so much to recognize and raise women in this industry. I hope our team is a small example of what is possible when women support each other and build together. “

Alicia Keys, another co -founder of the organization, will honor Abrams and the team at the event.

“Gracie Abrams and her incredible team are a living proof of what happens when women rise to each other – when we enter our power, we change the game,” said Keys in a explanation. “In an industry in which women guided by women are still the exception, their success is a memory that we belong in every room at every table and have every conversation. The music is about breaking barriers, opening doors and ensuring that the next music generation of women in music not only has one seat at the table – they build the table. “

It is the event of the music, which will take place just a few weeks after the Annenberg initiative report, which has again described a music industry in detail, which repeatedly uses the advocate of women in management positions.

In 37 music companies analyzed for the study, only 13 percent of CEOs or presidents were women who stagnate with numbers from four years ago.

Gerson, one of the few CEOs for women in the industry, recognized the lack of improvement and the need to get better, but that “time” is “needed” and emphasized that the way to improve is to “increase women and not to fall down”.

“The reason for our event is that you experienced women in our event, helped them and make room for them,” says Gerson. “I really think we are making progress. There are many women who are ambitious enough to lead a company. There is more than I got into the business. I think a woman who heads a company has to be more conscious to bring more women in. ”

The Annenberg report and its demand to improve the ranks of the company also take place because the Trump administration affects the initiatives for diversity, justice and inclusion as a whole. Many industries, including the broader entertainment business, begin to expose.

Gerson has addressed the importance of hiring the best candidates and better trained, but she also says that the music business, regardless of whether there is a DEI mandate or not, must have a workforce that reflects its diverse artist class, including race and gender.

“It’s not just about fulfilling the mandate, we touch culture, music is a unifier, and to do this, our ranks should look like our artists,” says Gerson. “Imagine we were a business and all creative areas had only one kind of person, we would only sign a kind of music. Even without dei, we are an industry that shouldn’t change just because it is not prescribed. We should be the luminous example of diversity because what we bring out in the world is diverse. We should feel responsibility towards our industry to hire different teams of people. “
