Billboard spoke with three honorees: Manizha, SIMONA and Avril Lavigne, to discuss their musical journeys as women, gender advocacy and equity in the industry, and Spotify’s EQUAL initiative.The first EQUAL Ambassador of 2022 is a Tajik-Russian artist named Manizha. She is an eclectic indie artist who creates art to confront societal issues like domestic violence, xenophobia, homophobia, and more.
BILLBOARD: How important is representation across the industry for young women trying to start careers in music?: It’s super important because I’m not just a singer. I’m also a songwriter, producer, director, and more. My mom even works with me as a producer. In the earlier days of my career, men in the studio were always surprised to see a woman producing her own tracks, but that feels natural to me. I can execute my vision exactly how I want as a producer.
BILLBOARD: If you could give one message to the music industry on how to better support gender equity, what would it be?More women headliners at festivals! More women in the studio producing, more women at record labels. We need more spaces for women in the industry outside of just being an artist.
