Check out the testimonial.
In an interview with a Swedish website, Halestorm's frontwoman Lzzy Hale was asked if she had ever experienced sexism in the music industry. Check out her statement:
“I’m not blind to these things, but I try to block them out most of the time because really the only person I judge myself by is myself. Because I feel that if I’m doing a good job then screw everyone else. If I feel like I’m not doing a good job, it’s my fault. But of course, there have been several moments… One was before we had a guitar tech, I was changing the strings on my guitar and a guy came up to me and said, ‘My girlfriend never does this for me.’ Another was, ‘You sing very well for a girl, but you’re not very clear in your conviction.’ And my response was, ‘Well, there’s Aerosmith and there’s Dio and there’s literally everyone who screams all the time. I do the same thing.’ I’m not Celine Dion. I never wanted to look like that. I’m not that person, I’m not trying to be that, but there’s a misconception that women need to be more perfect than men and the truth is we’re not (…) My point is that most of the time I just want to be good enough for myself and my band and what the Other people think... pfft, they can do whatever they want."
Halestorm is currently working on their next album, which follows the release of 2015's "Into The Wild Life".
