5 Tips for Women in Music

March 8th is International Women’s Day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. In preparation for this day, we have prepared 5 tips for women in music to succeed in the music industry.

Here are 5 Tips for Women in Music by our music judge Flaviyake

1. Learn

Continue learning and getting better at what you do. Skills are essential. People are equally talented. It’s the skills that make us stand out.

2. Believe

Do not listen to people who tell you that you cannot do something because of your gender, just find a way to learn and do it.

3. Support

Be supportive to the women that do that “man’s job”, as even women lots of times do not trust women that do a “man’s job”. If you have a friend who is a female producer, give her a chance, do not judge her competence according to the fact that she is a woman.

4. Deliver Your Best

As a female producer/engineer, do not expect that you will be given a chance just because you think you should be given a chance since we happened to live during this women in music movement. You will be judged by the quality of your work and compete with other female and male professionals who are as good as you are and even better. Acknowledge that fact and do your best.

5. Mindset

Every time you question your ability to do something, remind yourself that a guy in the same situation with less experience would just be doing it. We become what we allow ourselves to be. So let yourself “be” and do not overthink it.
