“There are times when being a woman in this business can feel unfair due to double standards, but don't let that shape how you navigate the industry or influence your reactions. My motto is 'Don't take it on.' By this, I don't mean ignoring what's happening, but rather, I choose not to dwell on it or sweat the small stuff. There are often much bigger issues in life, and someone somewhere is always facing a challenge. So try to give everyone a little bit of the grace you also will need at some point.

This isn't rocket science – it's music. So, don't take yourself too seriously. Change is inevitable, and while doing good work is essential (don’t half-ass it!), it shouldn’t define your entire life. Live LIFE well, experience people, places and things. Time is precious, you cannot get it back. Uplift other women by making space for them, breathe, and remember: 'Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?”

“Two things:

1. Don't be an asshole, ever, no matter how tempting.

2. Look for the most interesting person in the room and strike up a conversation. Networking and relationship building are at the heart of every...single...opportunity you will ever have. Build your networks in an authentic, meaningful way.”

“The best advice I can give to other women in the music industry is to always believe in yourself and stay true to your values. Understanding what’s most important to you will guide you through difficult decisions and help you make choices that bring you genuine happiness. This industry is relentless, constantly demanding more – more music, more time, more energy.

It’s easy to lose yourself in the pursuit of success. But when you’re anchored in who you are and what you want, you’ll navigate your career with confidence and pride. Surround yourself with people who share these values and bring you joy. These are the individuals who will uplift and inspire you. Remember, competition is a product of capitalism, but in reality, when one of us succeeds, we all flourish together.”

“Lean into the stuff that makes you uncomfortable. For me, early on, it was the numbers. I adopted an internal narrative that because I didn’t excel in ‘math’ as a student, I wasn’t as capable as others. It’s funny how that stuff can stick. I surrounded myself with people I could learn from and once I put the time in, running a P&L became something I enjoy the most about my job. That and a career, in my experience, is not linear. I have accelerated, paused, and taken steps ‘back’. Sometimes it was because different parts of my life were the priority and sometimes it was just the ebb and flow of opportunity. Stick with it, keep going.”
