Head B*tch In Charge

The women behind the scenes in the metal industry are something truly special. These panelists have built their careers from the ground up, becoming powerhouses in their fields and a force to be reckoned with. Join us as we discuss the steps each of these women took to get to where they are today. We will focus not on diversity, but rather the strong will and work ethic it takes to reach the level of success that earns the HBIC title. The music industry can be tough and quite cut-throat. These panelists have risen to the challenges we all face in a complex industry where only the strong survive and entitlement should never be presumed.
