Women’s International Music Network’s Laura B Whitmore says: “We’re ready to kick off 2020 in a big way and our upcoming honourees are an exciting part of that.

“These women go above and beyond in their respective corners of our industry and are perfect examples of why we are proud to celebrate women in music.”
