Whose Song Is It Anyway?12 Apr 2023

Sarah Woods

Deputy Chief Executive at Help Musicians, Sarah Wood has been in the music industry around 30 years, so she draws on her breath of experience to discuss how things have changed overtime as a woman. We build on last week’s episode on the topic of coming back to work after having a child, Sarah’s experience was whilst working for a corporation rather than as a freelancer. We also talk about reflecting on your contribution, with a positive frame of mind to help build self-confidence and understanding your worth as well as up-skilling and believing in yourself to have the capacity to learn new things!

Sarah also gives some insight on the music industry landscape and the importance of the Musicians Census project to better understand the barriers faced to better support a more inclusive industry. She sets out what Help Musicians are doing to better engage with female and gender expansive musicians and the positive impact of a targeted approach, offering practical suggestions on gathering insight, engaging with the results, pro-actively driving change and constantly evaluating.
