Paris Jackson, Tinashe, Aimee Mann Help Raise Awareness for Linda Perry’s EqualizeHer at Troubadour Event
Geoff Mayfield “What we’re trying to present to everybody is that girls don’t just have to be sexy on stage,” said composer, musician, producer and activist Linda Perry from the Troubadour stage in West Hollywood, kicking off a fundraising event Sunday (Oct. 9) for EqualizeHer. “They can be very, very powerful behind the scenes.” Launched in April at South By Southwest with philanthropist Alisha Ballard, wife of composer and producer Dan Ballard, the event featured performances by Paris Jackson, Aimee Mann and Tinashe, and was the latest effort to raise awareness of the initiative. Like nonprofits She Is The Music and Women’s Audio Mission, EqualizeHer seeks to create more opportunities for women throughout all ranks of the music industry.
