Candid relates the experiences of women from many genres and with different roles in the music industry. It featured more than forty internationally acclaimed figures, including Dame Evelyn Glennie, Debbie Wiseman OBE, Jennifer Batten, Judi Silvano, Badi Assad, Liona Boyd, and more.
Once I was contacted by people who wanted to hire me because they said they liked the way I looked in my photos-it was not clear if they were interested in my music or wanted me to work in a brothel! Marilyn Crispell
Listen to yourself, know the industry that you are in, believe in yourself. Dame Evelyn Glennie
I had to deal with men getting their appendages out, being accosted in dressing rooms, a sound engineer getting in my bunk on the bus [...] having to change and shower in the same rooms-you learn some funny dressing skills. Jo Ellul
The women (along with selected male contributors) discuss their experiences and ongoing journeys in music, presenting the reader with an in-depth, honest view of the music industry today. The conversational manner of the book is both compelling and utterly engaging.
The reader is invited into the dialogue. They will come away with a candid, honest understanding of an evolving industry reconciling its past, navigating the present, and looking toward the future.
I am proud to endorse this book as it gives voice to a diverse array of women in the music industry across different generations, genres, and sectors with fascinating insights as well as solutions toward a more inclusive music industry. Bushra El-Turk, Composer
Praise for Sammy Stein:
Best-selling author Sammy Stein stands at the forefront of excellence, commanding international acclaim for her authoritative prose and exceptional journalism. 8th House Publishing
She is a deft interviewer, and as in her previous books, this one seeks insight and opinion from many musicians, academics, and others who are close to the music. Deb Grant, radio host, DJ and author
Sammy Stein is internationally acclaimed. She has won a Jazz Times Distaff Award, a Literary Titan Gold Award, written for Reader's Digest and other publications, and has been commissioned twice by the Library of Congress. One commentator said, She gives clear facts, yet does not try to force the reader's opinion. The depth of research is incredible.
