Simone, Anya and Paloma are sitting on stools, and the other women are standing. All seven are looking at one another and laughing.

happy international women’s day to all women, and in particular the women who have to fight silent battles with this industry on a daily basis!
It’s the first time I’ve been honest about my past year (or to a level of detail I feel safe to). Honestly my mental health has been awful and though I was able to complete my 2023 commitments I can’t say it’s been the same this year. I’m sorry if I’ve let you down, my fans have been the shining light in all this. You’re always so supportive of me and I appreciate it so much. I’ve been lucky to have found ways to keep my business afloat and support myself as well as my team, but when it comes to new music I can’t release another album under my current conditions. I feel really trapped and don’t know what to do.
Thank you to the women who bravely shared their story here, and to Roisin and Chloe for bringing it all together. you can read it in my stories (as you might expect there’s lots of trigger warnings).
I’ve felt enlivened by the strength in this article, but I’ve also cried at how truly rotten the industry is. This is just a FRACTION of what actually goes on. Ive heard more stories like this, some worse, in private from other artists. There are men who have done horrible things to multiple women who have very secure jobs in high places. It’s truly terrifying.
If you wanna help us you can share the article and send words of love and support to those featured. I would like to see more publications amplify this endemic problem outside of this one day too. Like I said in the article I don’t know a single woman who has not experienced some form of misogyny. As someone whose passion in music at school was taken advantage of by a music teacher who proceeded to then groom me for several years in my teens, it starts young. The music industry is absolutely due a MeToo movement and we need your amplification. Otherwise these artists will disappear from the industry. I don’t want any young person to ever have to experience what some of these women have. I want men to amplify this too.
This is our workplace and women don’t deserve to be treated like this. This is not some rite of passage and this needs to stop
