Sienna Spiro has admitted it’s “really alarming” witnessing the “boys club” that is the music industry.
The 20-year-old singer spoke to Music Week about how she’s found being in the business as a young, breakout star, and said that she’s noticed the sexism more and more the further she’s “gone in my journey”.
She said: “Women are absolutely not treated equally behind the scenes, in management, labels, studios, everywhere…
“The term ‘boys club’ is very, very, true. It’s really alarming to see, and the further I’ve gone in my journey, the more I’ve noticed it.
“I really hope [things will improve], and they have changed for women who are front-facing and in the public eye. But I think the way women get treated behind the scenes is just awful.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Die on This Hill singer Sienna took aim at AI music, as she called it “s**t”.
She said: “I think AI music is s***. Like, it’s just never going to be good. I’m not really sure why someone would use it, rather than just using their brain.
“Why would anyone want to listen to an AI song?”
Sienna continued to explain: “I love real instruments, real music, doing things that feel human.
“In the music that I love, you can hear the mistakes, the human f***-ups that AI would never be able to replicate, and that is what real music and musicianship is.”
The singer has yet to release her debut album, but is one of the most popular young stars of her generation.
She found huge success on TikTok, where she has more than four million followers, and insisted in the interview that when it comes to social media, she’s all about posting her own content.
She said: “[I] will always do my own personal social media just ’cause I’m a control freak”.
As for advice for her fellow artists, Sienna concluded: “Make what you want, what you think will last, what you love, what you feel like you’ll never grow out of.
“I think when you do that, people gravitate towards authenticity – they just do. We’re humans. It’s nature.”
