“My band Halestorm and I are so proud to be partnering up with Gender Amplified for the 'Dear Daughter’ remix contest,” Hale says. “We firmly believe that in this business it is never a matter of gender, it is always a matter of talent. Not only in the world of performance and live music, but in production, mixing and audio engineering as well. I am honored to be supporting and creating awareness, because we are more than women, we are a powerful part of the evolution of the music industry.”

Since woman are traditionally underrepresented in a variety of scientific and art-based fields relating to music, Gender Amplified is a non-profit organization “that aims to celebrate women in music production, raise their visibility, and develop a pipeline for women to get involved behind the scenes.” Gender Amplified organizes public events “to give voice to a subculture of women who are using music technology to create their own music and perpetuate their unique identities.”
