Summary

- The event aims to address female underrepresentation in music creation.
The Grammy Week gala, hosted by the female-led nonprofit We Are Moving the Needle, will feature the 2026 Resonator Awards on January 27th. This event honors remarkable women in music, including iconic artists like Chaka Khan, St. Vincent, and the band Haim, alongside essential figures in production and songwriting.
The Resonator Awards, now in its second year, takes place at Los Angeles' Chaplin Studios. Founded by Grammy-winning engineer Emily Lazar, We Are Moving the Needle addresses the significant underrepresentation of women in music's creative fields, where only 5.9 percent of producers on the Billboard Hot 100 are female.
Lazar emphasized the organization's mission to strengthen the music industry for creators, stating the awards reflect a commitment to honoring artistry and fostering an equitable industry. Chaka Khan added her voice, calling the movement empowering and celebrating the collective strength of women creators.
