Examining humanity and equity in music with Anneliis Kits

November 08, 2023 • VEMU, EMW & Estonian Life • Season 2 • Episode 39

As Anneliis Kits sees it, musicians are humans just like everyone else. And yet, in the way they are idolized and/or vilified, many artists have had their humanity taken away from them. She wants to change that, for the sake of their health and wellbeing.

She also cares deeply about women becoming more represented in the music industry. Having recently spent time in Canada as part of The Global Network for Women Music Producers, she joined us to talk about:

🎤 how safety plays a major role in education and artistic exploration
🎤 being authentic and vulnerable in creating music
🎤 the positive change cultivated by The Global Network for Women Music Producers
🎤 and much more
