There has never been a shortage of qualified women who have the capacity to excel in the music industry. The music industry continues to face substantial gender disparities, especially in roles such as producers, engineers, tech, even in the roles of musicians, songwriters, and executive positions.
As of 2022, research indicates that women represent about 30% of artists in the industry, though only 14% of songwriters and around 3-5% of producers are women. This imbalance highlights significant obstacles women face in attaining equal representation in influential music roles, from the recording studio, to live productions, to the boardroom.
For instance, in the Grammy awards over recent years, women have consistently been underrepresented, holding only about 13% of nominations from 2013 to 2021 across major categories like "Record of the Year" and "Album of the Year"—with female producers especially rare among nominees.
The financial gap is also a major issue, with female artists reportedly earning 30% less on average than their male counterparts in leading record labels. Moreover, gender-related challenges extend to daily workplace interactions, with studies showing that up to 64% of women in the industry have encountered harassment or gender-based discrimination. This disparity is compounded by a reported "confidence gap" where men’s and women’s perceptions of progress diverge, often leaving women feeling unsupported.
Music Business Essentials for Women is a groundbreaking guide crafted specifically for women navigating the dynamic world of music. This comprehensive book empowers readers to embrace their strengths, overcome challenges, and thrive in a competitive industry. From practical tips on managing contracts to strategies for building a personal brand, this book covers everything you need to succeed on your terms.
This guide isn't just about surviving in the music business—it's about owning your space, commanding respect, and flourishing creatively and financially.
Can I Be Honest?
The Music Industry has changed drastically. Traditional deals are a thing of the past and labels are phasing out of the equation. Where does that leave you? It leaves you in the best position ever.
But How?
Historically, a record company would make about 98% of the profit on an artist’s intellectual property - YOUR IP!!! And for what? Because they were just the bank. Well, we don’t need the bank anymore. . . . . . but we do need to know how to build relationships, find and nurture our community, convert our fans into our customer base, and keep our business and creative pursuits growing. It’s not impossible, but we need to understand the industry, business, and what we need to reach out goals.

Why I Wrote This Book
Most of my early career has been trial by fire - literally. I wish I had this book… and I wish I had the patience back then to listen. One our biggest issues is that we think we ca do it all ourselves - until we hit a wall. As a professor, I loved working with my students who were hungry or knowledge. I admired how they would be able to filter what they needed and move towards their goals. As we become more and more settled in our lives, we tend to think we don’t need help. Everybody needs help and there is no shame in asking for it.
