On International Women’s Day Monday night, influential women in the music industry, including USC alumna Saweetie, came together for the first Grammy Week event to share advice, insider insights into the behind-the-scenes of the music world and the changes in diversity necessary for the future of the industry.
Harvey Mason Jr., the new president of the Recording Academy, kicked off the evening with an important message about the future of the Academy.
“Women in the Mix is a celebration of the gifts that women and women-identifying people bring to this industry and the power that comes when we support, mentor and create opportunities for greatness,” Mason said. “We take very seriously the responsibility to be leaders through our initiatives, programming and partnerships.”
