WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A FEMALE ARTIST IN THIS MALE-DOMINATED INDUSTRY?
To be a female artist in this type of industry is hard at times because not many people seem to take us seriously. As a female artist you have to overcome a lot, battling stereotypes, from being considered 'loose' to being seen only as 'pieces of meat' meant for the pleasure of men. Its not all rosy in this industry that is why I salute and look up to all the women who have made it thus far all over the world.
