Apple Music Spotlights 'Strength In Community' Theme For International Women's Day

This International Women's Day, Apple Music is shining a light on the ways women in music are finding strength in community and setting the stage for a more equitable future.

With spotlights focusing on Rising Latin Pop Stars, Nashville's New Guard, Dance-Floor Trailblazers, Social-Savvy Hitmakers and Guiding Voices in Jazz, Apple Music will feature unique perspectives from rising, influential artists as they work to change the course within their genres.
