Next-Gen Advice

“Remember your worth and remind others of theirs. Most of the women I know in the industry (and life) work really, really hard and are handling so many roles in their daily life. They are always multitasking and moving at a fast pace to succeed without having time to share and celebrate their accomplishments. Women I look up to are generally humble about what they do, but we can all do a better job about singing our own praises and making sure that we acknowledge and lift each other’s successes up. Women are the glue of this industry, and it shouldn’t be kept a secret.

My advice for women starting out is always work hard at your job, learn what everyone does, ask a ton of questions, admit when you are wrong, say sorry when you need to, say thanks to everyone, tell others they are amazing when they are and never forget that you are helping to shape someone’s life dreams. Artists come in all shapes and sizes but they almost all have the same dream, which is for their music to be shared with as many people as possible. You get to play a role in dream making and that is special. I am so proud to have worked with so many artists that have impacted lives in so many positive ways with their gifts. I try to never forget that blessing in my day-to-day interactions or when I’m in the grind. Lastly, take time for yourself, for fun, for family, friends and crank up the tunes whenever you have a rough day and let music heal you.”
