We Are Moving the Needle, which was founded by Grammy winner engineer
Emily Lazar and aims to close the gender gap in the technical fields of the recording industry, has announced new additions to its advisory “SoundBoard.” They include artists Brittany Howard, Vanessa Carlton, Christina Perri, Imogen Heap, and Tune-Yards’ Merrill Garbus, and join previously announced artists Brandi Carlile, Maggie Rogers, HAIM and Linda Perry. Said Carlton: “The gender gap for women on the technical side of music making is jaw dropping. As a mother to a 6-year-old daughter who is already fiddling with mics and writing her own songs, their mission is especially important to me.” See the full list of board members and find additional information on the We Are Moving the Needle site.
