                Catherine Likhuta (Australia-Ukraine 1981) 

I decided to post something different this week. Catherine Likhuta is an Australian composer, pianist, and recording artist. We can feel her passion for music through her compositions, especially the rhythm variety and the various timbre effect.Catherine's work has been performed in the United States, Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. 

From my perspective, women in the music industry are still sexualized today, as with any industry with public figures. From musicians to movie stars to even politicians, we live in and day and age where women are openly sexualized all around us in our day-to-day life, from ads to shows to movies. Women often used visual rather than aural effects during the sets; it is essential to note that they were talented. The sexualization of musicians, both in the 1930s and today, shouldn't denote people from recognizing the hard work and talent that men and women put into being performers and being at the top of the profession.
