Unfortunately there has been a lack of female songwriters and producers in the industry and I believe it is very important to empower and support them in this ever changing industry.Girls I Rate shines a light and celebrates women working in the industry enabling the next generation to make more informed choices and decisions for their chosen musical paths.

“It saddens me to see the blatant gender imbalance within the music industry, particularly in executive positions and music production. The skills and talent are definitely not missing, I believe it’s caused by a lack of confidence and support. I want to be the best example I can be to women and to give them the courage and hopefully the inspiration to blaze bright and kick down all the doors that have been unfairly closed to them over the years.”

“Having spent 13 years working in this fast moving and ever changing industry, I am only just beginning to understand the intricacies of how things work myself.I’m sick and tired of seeing artists, particularly young females being taken advantage of. It’s time for things to change, I want to be a part of that. ”

“Carla Marie is one of those rare visionaries, she has created Girls I Rate as a new platform to fill a gap for a rich mix of diverse women in the creative industries. It is also about creating future platforms to empower, mentor and support the next generation of girls and young women coming through the industry. It is a cause close to my heart and a privilege for MOBO to be able to support.”

“Girls I Rate is an exciting and much-needed initiative, and I am proud that PRS for Music will be hosting the #GetHeard weekender. So many young women can be put off entering what often feels like a male-dominated industry, so it’s invaluable to have organisations such as Girls I Rate to break down stereotypes and really support and champion new talent”

“Girls I rate is an exciting new movement which is inspiring the next generation of women to collaborate, put themselves forward and push for change within the creative industries.
