When I think back to the beginning, and I mean to before I launched the podcast, the blog, and my site, to before I thought of the idea of highlighting women in the music industry and providing resources to women just starting out, to before I even thought of being an entrepreneur (basically we’re going back to literally day 1 of 2018), I realized it all came from one Tweet.

Changes are coming to Broken Glass Media!

As artists, entrepreneurs, and business women we all experience the same thing - hustling until we're exhausted, taking on more than we can handle to prove ourselves, and for some of us, letting other people suck our personal energy dry.

The country genre is abounding with women aspiring to write, record, and tour in the genre, and they are moving mountains to make their voices, and songs, heard. Here are two up and coming female country artists I discovered in the last few weeks to listen to, share, and keep your eye on.

It's a sunny Sunday afternoon in Tujunga when I meet Sharon, known in the music realm by her stage name of $hareBear, for the first time. She comes in with a huge smile on her face, gives me a big hug, and I feel like I already know her. 

I want to provide the tools and resources that you want to see, that you need to be successful in your career. So let me ask you this: what do you want to see on this blog? What types of toolkits, resources, videos, online courses, etc. would you be interested in?

With a quarter nearly down, I wanted to take some time to reflect on the awesomeness of 2018 for women in music so far. Women's equality in the music industry was brought to light in a tremendous way  in the first part of the year, and it will most certainly set the tone for the unforeseeable future.

Go ahead, turn on your local station and listen for an hour. I'll wait...

What did you hear? Notice anything about the artists played?

If you guessed that the artists were almost entirely male, well you'd be right.

Today we celebrate women around the world - entrepreneurs, scientists, politicians, entertainers, etc. We celebrate our nurturers, our inspiration, and even ourselves.
