Mary J. Blige Talks Women in Music Industry at Nashville Songwriting Camp

“To see us come together and write songs and be in the same room and smile and compliment each other is very empowering,” says R&B singer of the She Is the Music Song Camp

The headline artist for the inaugural She Is the Music Song Camp was Mary J. Blige, who lent her Grammy-winning expertise to over a dozen young women creatives. Blige was on hand throughout each of the three days to offer guidance and to co-write with a diverse array of young songwriting talents. When speaking with Rolling Stone in one of the studio’s control rooms, Blige talked about how she was compelled to accept the invitation to the event because she believes in the power that is created when women band together.
