An benevolent crew made up of some of the most powerful women in music have penned an open letter condemning remarks made by Neil Portnow.

[Women] who want to be musicians, engineers, producers, and want to be part of the industry on the executive level [need] to step up.

The Grammy chief made the comments after last week’s ceremony saw a number of its female nominees miss out on major wins.

He issued this statement after facing fire.

Sunday night, I was asked a question about the lack of female artist representation in certain categories of this year’s Grammy Awards. Regrettably, I used two words, ‘step up,’ that, when taken out of context, do not convey my beliefs and the point I was trying to make. Our industry must recognize that women who dream of careers in music face barriers that men have never faced.

Today, a group of the industry’s power players have stepped up to slam him.
