ahead of International Women’s Day on 8th March, I have compiled a playlist of songs from women who inspire me growing up. Charting my childhood through to teenage years, these are artists who either opened my eyes to new sounds and possibilities, or they were part of songs that have stuck in my head and are with me still. From my earliest childhood years in the 1980s, through to my high school years in the ‘90s, this is a selection of incredible women who have made a big impact. Whether in a band, solo artist, or someone fronting a Dance classic from back in the day, this is a salute to some amazing women. I will put out some other features ahead of International Women’s Day. It is an honour and pleasure celebrating these…
