ROLL OF HONOUR INDUCTEES 2020

The Women in Music Roll Of Honour was established in 2014, and now has over 90 members. Every year 12 more women are inducted into the roll of honour in recognition of their work for the music industry. 

The Roll Of Honour aims to highlight the breadth, depth and variety of individuals who are ‘game changers’ in the music industry, with one common theme; they are female and their activities consistently benefit women, or focus on female empowerment/gender disparity.

This year we have expanded the 2020 Roll of Honour by introducing 24 new inductees instead of 12.

So here, we present the full, game-changing Class Of 2020...
