Read on for highlights, and check out our Instagram for the full breadth of responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chelsea Cutler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think for me, what it means to be heard in the music industry on a tangible level is to be listened to\u2014to be heard in meetings and sessions with male counterparts and have my opinions and my visions valued. On a more intangible level, it means for listeners to hear music that I&#8217;ve written and produced, and for them to know that a lane exists for women to be successful songwriters, and successful producers especially.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Chelsea Cutler - the stars (Lyric Video)\" width=\"370\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NK6FJnrrtzU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TENI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It means to feel powerful beyond measure in a world that sees me as nothing more than a gender. It means to be empowered, be impactful, and have my life mean something and not just be a statistic. It means to be given a chance to be anything I want to be in life. It means to be given an opportunity to compete for the best seat at the table.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"TENI - MOSLADO LYRIC VIDEO\" width=\"370\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P56A9wr8KGU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Karra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;To me, being heard means independence, trailblazing new paths, and charting new territories. When you do that, you can\u2019t help but be not only heard but also seen, respected, and valued.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"KARRA - Underwater | Official Lyric Video\" width=\"370\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7gmo9m4l6Dk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qrion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing heard means being able to create art and have a platform for it be heard, seen, and recognized. For me, releasing music and continuously working as a musician are the way to let people know women who make music are just the same as any of your favorite male producers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Qrion - It&#039;s All Over\" width=\"370\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KkC5ZYN0dZ8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">mxmtoon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Being heard means empathy\u2014truly putting yourself in the other&#8217;s shoes.
