She Is The Music honored multi-Platinum hitmaker Megan Moroney and industry icon Sylvia Rhone at the second annual “Women Sharing The Spotlight” event at Delilah in Los Angeles on Feb. 18.
The powerful evening also celebrated a group of impactful women in the music industry, each of whom shared their spotlight with another woman in the business. Superstar and SITM co-founder Alicia Keys spoke to the spirit of opening doors and lifting others up, saying, “Tonight’s event is about being able to say wait, I do have this position and I can open the door. It’s one thing when you’re banging on a door to be let in, and it’s another thing when someone opens the door and says ‘come in and join me.’”
Keys then introduced Moroney as the Artist Spotlight, saying, “Megan and her team are breaking new ground with achievements in an industry where female-led teams are still the exception rather than the norm. We are so honored to have her and her team with us tonight.”
“Thank you to She Is The Music for this honor.,” said Moroney. “I think sometimes we’re taught—subtly or not—that there’s only room for a few women at the top. But music and creating art isn’t a competition for oxygen. I’m positive that when one of us wins, it stretches the ceiling higher for the next girl watching.”
Co-founded by Keys, UMPG Chairman & CEO Jody Gerson, recording and mix engineer Ann Mincieli and UTA’s co-Head of Music Sam Kirby Yoh, SITM is dedicated to increasing the number of women working in music.
