\n\tMoroney, whose third studio album Cloud 9<\/em> is being released Feb. 20, will be celebrated as the Artist Spotlight. Known for her career-building platinum hits \u201cTennessee Orange,\u201d \u201cAm I Okay?\u201d and \u201cNo Caller ID,\u201d the country artist will also be recognized for her commitment to working with diverse, female-led teams both on and off the stage.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m so honored to receive this recognition from She Is The Music,\u201d Moroney said in a press statement. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t 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\u2019m beyond grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRhone, who exited her post as chairwoman and CEO of Epic Records last September, will be honored as the Trailblazer Spotlight. During her storied career, the former record label secretary broke the music C-suite glass ceiling twice before her Epic tenure: when she was named chairwoman of Atlantic\u2019s East West Records America in 1990 and again in 1994 as the first Black woman appointed chairman and CEO of a major record company, Elektra Entertainment Group. In addition to working with a diverse roster from Missy Elliott and AC\/DC to Erykah Badu and Travis Scott, Rhone simultaneously advocated for diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThroughout my career, I\u2019ve believed that real power is about using it to create opportunity for others,\u201d commented Rhone. \u201cI\u2019m deeply honored to be recognized by an organization that understands progress requires both vision and action.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe Is The Music co-founder and Grammy-winning artist Alicia Keys, who will present the Artist Spotlight to Moroney, said of both honorees, \u201cMegan represents something so important for this moment in music \u2014 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAdded fellow SITM co-founder and Universal Music Group Publishing chairman and CEO Jody Gerson: \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to Keys and Gerson, She Is The Music was co-founded by Grammy-nominated recording and mix engineer Ann Mincieli and UTA\u2019s co-head of music Sam Kirby Yoh. In keeping with their mission to increase the number of women working in the music industry while lifting each other up, SITM\u2019s Sharing the Spotlight will once again select a group of music industry powerhouses who will each invite a woman working in the music business with whom to share their spotlight. The concept was introduced at SITM\u2019s inaugural Share The Spotlight event last year, which honored Gracie Abrams as the Artist Spotlight recipient.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
