I have been working on the music management side for 13 years and am now the CEO of my own management company, Arketek. But not too long ago, a venue doorman assumed I was a makeup artist and asked me to wait outside, while allowing the man next to me to walk inside without a problem.
that during the label’s two-day songwriting camp, she was consistently left out of introductions. “PSA to men - if you walk into a studio session. Don’t only introduce yourself to the men in the room,” she said.
Reading through the hundreds of supportive comments, reposts and replies to Melissa’s tweet, it’s clear that many women are having similar problems. Melissa has also told me that sometimes, promoters who want to book her clients have expressed discomfort about working with a woman. PSA to men - if you walk into a studio session. Don’t only introduce yourself to the men in the room. I lost count of how many times that happened last night to me. Not only is it rude but we may also be the ones you’ll need for something. Acknowledge everyone.Women are organized, efficient, personable, consistent, patient, creative, and empathetic -- all key characteristics for a successful manager. Yet we’ve been pigeonholed into administrative positions.
It’s rare that I see a female partner at larger management companies; instead, women frequently get stuck in “day-to-day” or “coordinator” positions without the opportunity to move up the ladder. But empowering more women managers will help set an example in the industry. To break that glass ceiling, management companies should make the effort to partner with more women.
Finally, I urge women not to shy away from politely correcting people when they’re improperly introduced. Own your voice, own your leadership, and own the title that you worked very hard to earn. Edith Bo is the CEO and co-founder of Arketek, the music management, publishing and A&R consulting company she launched in 2017 with mixing engineer and record producer Stan Greene. Arketek clients include Money Jezu$, Saint Bodhi, The Cold Seas and King Elle Noir.
