We Are Moving The Needle was founded in 2021 by Grammy winner and nine-time nominated mastering engineer Emily Lazar.
“We Are Moving The Needle is about strengthening the music industry so creators can thrive on their own terms,” said Lazar. “The Resonator Awards are a reflection of that mission – honouring not only remarkable artistry, but the shared commitment to building an industry that lives up to its values.”
Luminary Award recipient Chaka Khan added: "Empowered women empower women. I am honoured to be part of a movement that celebrates the creativity, resilience and determination of women creators everywhere. We lift each other and shine. Together, we are moving the needle."
