Despite the presence of many well-known female artists in our culture today, most of the songs we listen to, are written by men.
A recent U.S. study estimates that 90% of all music in the public domain is composed by men. In the UK 81.7% of PRS members, the official body that pays royalties to composers and songwriters, are men.
This glaring disparity is why we are launching She Writes Songs, a groundbreaking organization devoted solely to championing original music written by women across all genres, ages and cultures.
While many organizations are addressing the broader gender imbalance in the music industry, She Writes Songs stands unique in its exclusive dedication to supporting and empowering female composers.
