There isn’t a time when women should not be celebrated, but the month of March, especially, reminds us to stop and take stock of how far women have come in stepping into the lights.
Music has never been gender-specific. Women have great voices as much as men, and women enjoy music as much as men. This has, however, not stopped the music Industry from being male-dominated in the past. The entertainment industry, in particular, is believed to give an unhealthy level of exposure to women.
While this is true, it is only possible when we don’t have enough women protecting women and creating safe spaces for women in music. Thankfully this is becoming a fading narrative because we now have women who have paved the path for a younger generation of female artists to follow. They broke the bias of success and have gone on to have celebrated music careers, despite the challenges.
Some of them have gone ahead to use their platform to raise awareness on domestic abuse, whose primary victims are women and children, cultural abuse, women’s rights and the need to encourage women’s participation.
On this occasion of International women’s day, we at Epoh Music honour these brave queens for their contributions to women’s advancement. We throwey salute o!
Happy International Women’s Day
From all of us at Epoh Music
