Music Industry Powerhouses Megan Moroney & Sylvia Rhone Dazzle at She Is The Music Awards

Multiplatinum singer-songwriter Megan Moroney and music industry trailblazer Sylvia Rhone are set to be honored at She Is The Music’s second annual Sharing the Spotlight ceremony. The event is scheduled for February 18 in Los Angeles, recognizing both women for their significant contributions to the music industry and their dedication to empowering other women.
Megan Moroney will receive the Artist Spotlight award. Her third studio album, "Cloud 9," is slated for release on February 20. Moroney is celebrated for her platinum hits "Tennessee Orange," "Am I Okay?," and "No Caller ID." Beyond her musical achievements, she is acknowledged for her steadfast commitment to collaborating with diverse, female-led teams both on and off the stage. Moroney expressed her gratitude, stating, "I wouldn’t be where I am today, in my career and in life, without the support of all the incredible females around me. Knowing that some of the most talented women in the business always have my back gives me the creative space to focus on my artistry and for this I’m beyond grateful." Grammy-winning artist and She Is The Music co-founder Alicia Keys will present the Artist Spotlight to Moroney.
Sylvia Rhone, who departed her role as chairwoman and CEO of Epic Records last September, will be honored with the Trailblazer Spotlight. Throughout her distinguished career, Rhone has twice shattered the music C-suite glass ceiling before her Epic tenure: first as chairwoman of Atlantic’s East West Records America in 1990, and again in 1994 when she became the first Black woman appointed chairman and CEO of a major record company, Elektra Entertainment Group. Her career not only involved working with a diverse roster of artists including Missy Elliott, AC/DC, Erykah Badu, and Travis Scott, but also consistently advocating for diversity and inclusion within the industry. Rhone commented, "Throughout my career, I’ve believed that real power is about using it to create opportunity for others. I’m deeply honored to be recognized by an organization that understands progress requires both vision and action."
Alicia Keys praised both honorees, noting, "Megan represents something so important for this moment in music — the way she builds her teams and shows up for other women is leadership. Sylvia has been doing this for decades, and [the night] is about recognizing that none of us get here alone. And when we share our spotlight, we make the whole industry brighter." Jody Gerson, fellow SITM co-founder and Universal Music Group Publishing chairman and CEO, added, "We are honoring Megan and Sylvia for using their platforms and influence to broaden the path for other women. We are also thrilled to welcome our new executive director, Laura Segura, as this is her first big SITM community event."
She Is The Music (SITM) was co-founded by Alicia Keys, Jody Gerson, Grammy-nominated recording and mix engineer Ann Mincieli, and UTA’s co-head of music Sam Kirby Yoh. In alignment with its mission to increase the representation of women in the music industry and foster mutual support, SITM’s Sharing the Spotlight event will once again feature music industry powerhouses who will each invite another woman working in the business to share their spotlight. This innovative concept was first introduced at SITM’s inaugural event last year, where Gracie Abrams was the Artist Spotlight recipient.
