Selena Gomez recently shared her concerns, emphasizing the difficulties women often encounter while navigating the music business.
One of the catalysts for her reflections is the well-known legal battle of Kesha, who fought to break her exclusive contract with Sony Music, alleging that producer Dr. Luke had subjected her to abuse. Selena Gomez couldn't help but be sensitive to Kesha's ordeal, understanding the harsh challenges that women face in the music industry.
In a candid conversation with Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1, Selena opened up about her experiences in the industry, highlighting her sensitivity to the issue. She admitted, "It is difficult to be a woman in this business, and I would not wish that situation on anyone. I have been very lucky."
Selena's journey in the entertainment world began with Disney Channel, an experience she cherishes. She acknowledges the support she had, particularly from her mother, who was by her side throughout that phase of her career.
As she continues to evolve as an artist, Selena Gomez is working on her next album, exploring new creative avenues. Her previous album, 'Revival,' was a turning point for her, as she found her voice as a songwriter. This newfound path has invigorated her, and she is eager to expand her horizons.
She revealed, "I definitely think I've found my own path, and I'm excited to explore it. I would like to travel with some of my songwriters and be with them on the tour bus, composing and creating."
Selena's journey into songwriting has become a passion, a creative outlet that has become an addiction. She expressed, "Now that I’ve been able to access that creativity, I’m addicted to it."
In a music industry that has often been challenging for women, Selena Gomez's advocacy and determination to find her own path serve as an inspiration for aspiring artists and a testament to the strength and resilience of women in music. Her voice, both in her music and in her advocacy, is a powerful force for change and equality in the industry.
