Get ready, music lovers! 🎶 Country's rising star Megan Moroney just stole the show at the She Is The Music awards, clinching the Artist Spotlight Award!
Hosted by the incredible non-profit She Is The Music, co-founded by Alicia Keys, this event is all about celebrating women who are shaking things up in the music world. And Moroney? She rocked it! ‘I’m not even gonna play with y’all. I can’t believe Alicia Keys knows who I am,’ Moroney laughed, soaking in the moment with award-winning manager Hayley Corbett, agent Elisa Vazzan, and her all-star female team.
In her moving acceptance speech, Moroney gave a shoutout to all the 'badass women' who are leading the charge. ‘Music’s not a competition for oxygen,’ she said, hyping up the room. ‘When one of us wins, the ceiling gets higher for the next girl watching.’ That’s some empowering truth there! 🤘
Even Alicia Keys was singing her praises, ‘Megan is consciously bringing incredible women into the scene,’ she told Rolling Stone. Keys, with her She Is The Music co-founders, wanted to blast open doors after a shocking 2018 report showed how underrepresented women were in music production. Now, they’re building sisterhoods and opportunities that are game-changers! 💪
The evening also honored Sylvia Rhone, trailblazing music exec, with the Trailblazers Spotlight Award. Rhone, who’s been in the business since the days of vinyl, shared her own inspiring journey. She reminded everyone of the power of creativity and resilience, especially in today’s wild times.
So guys, next time you hear a Megan Moroney track, know there’s a whole realm of fierce women backing her up—and paving the way for more to come! Keep listening, keep supporting, and keep the music alive. 🎤✨
