Alicia Keys (aliciakeys) is opening up struggles for women in the music industry, and how she is doing her part to 'shift the numbers'
Impact Brunch, sponsored by American Express, in Los Angeles on Thursday, highlighting her work with organization She Is the Music. Founded along with Jody Gerson, Sam Kirby Yoh and Ann Mincieli, the group leads female writing camps and mentorship programs, and has developed the largest database for hiring women in the music industry.
"If I want to find a female lighting designer, how can I find that person? If I want to find a female sound engineer, how can I find that? If I want to find a female business manager or female lawyer," Keys told's Gail Mitchell, who sat down with her at the West Hollywood Edition hotel brunch, of the database.
Of where she hopes to see the industry go, the star says she wants a time when hiring women is just part of standard operations, not something people have to consciously think about, so that "it's not so unusual that, 'Wow, there's two women on the board! And one of them is black!' It's bullshit." which she said is her first self-titled project because "I feel this is the first time I've been most fully myself.
