She bought the record company that had launched it. Today, Coeur de Pirate wants to help change things in the music industry. Here’s why.
“I’ve lived with sexism, in fact, my entire career. I don’t think I’m the only one. “
Coeur de Pirate has just bought Dare to Care, a record company in Montreal that has existed for 20 years and the one that launched it. She hopes to change the codes in the music industry which, according to her, are sexist. “Even today, people don’t think I write my own songs. And that always makes me laugh“, she confides. When she started music in 2008, she remembers that the music scene was mostly male:”It was fascinating to see how the attention was not necessarily on my songs but more on my physique which was okay, I think, at the time.. “
According to Cœur de Pirate, it is important that leadership positions are more occupied by women. It also calls for the establishment of a charter against sexual harassment. “We have one. In the cultural world, we do not know when the line of work ends. Is this the concert hall? Is this the studio? Is it in the office ? “The view on women must also evolve in the media. Finally, with Dare to Care, Cœur de Pirate wants to establish a necessary structure for artists who do not know where to turn and re-establish a bond of trust.
