“Creating awareness, finding new solutions together and committing to a better balance in the music industry will not only make it richer in perspective, experience and knowledge it will be more innovative and engaging.

“First it was about making them hear that I could sing. Then it was making them see that I could write songs. And then it was making them understand I could produce. Express yourself in a nice tone and always be grateful! Step by step and never too much. Never be too much. Da Capo.”

The important thing, is doing it all together, men and women. The most important thing? increase the participation, artists will do everything else.

“Music should be an industry where creative people can express and explore every part of themselves. I found myself through my music, and it’s so important that we support and encourage others to do the same. We have to challenge the structures and stereotypes that exist, break down barriers, and make sure all genders have equal opportunities to be headliners and leaders.”

“I’m thrilled to be an ambassador for Keychange for the same reason I’ve been fighting against injustice in Poland as a queer performer and member of Ciężki Brokat - so that everyone can participate in the scene with equal chances.”
