Press Campaigns in Music

I am a passionate campaigner and a regular commentator on national and international news channels (tv, radio, print & online) for topics focused on gender equality in music. This also includes being called as a special witness to give oral evidence to the Women and Equalities Select Committee inquiry into misogyny in music in parliament, February 2023.
