You may have noticed that all of the artists featured on the Music to Persist to are females. We promise it’s not because we don’t love and appreciate male musicians, we just happen to think there aren’t nearly enough outlets to showcase all of the badass lady singers out there.

Despite that inequality, these female artists have inspiringly managed to carve out a creative space for their lyrical stories.
We hope this list inspires other women to continue forging paths, even when they’re repeatedly interrupted, thwarted, and diminished by the omnipresent male ego.
