At a recent gathering hosted by She Is The Music, country artist Megan Moroney made a point to shift part of the spotlight. During the event, she recognized veteran music executive Sylvia Rhone, highlighting the impact Rhone has had behind the scenes in the industry.
The moment took place as part of the organization’s ongoing efforts to support and advance women across all areas of music. Speaking on stage, Moroney acknowledged that success in the spotlight is often tied to the leadership and advocacy happening offstage. She pointed to Rhone’s decades of experience guiding artists and shaping careers as an example of that influence.
Rhone, known for her leadership roles at major labels, has long been one of the most prominent executives in the business. Her presence at the event underscored the connection between emerging artists and established industry figures.
This moment serves as a reminder that recognition in music does not stop with performers. It extends to the executives, mentors, and decision-makers who help open doors and create opportunities across the industry.
