Billboard’s Women in Music’s 2014 Chart-Topper

Azalea is named Billboard‘s Women in Music’s 2014 Chart-Topper. Azalea credits Sarah Sennett, the CEO of her management company, with her success.

I had a rocky start in the music business. I thought I was going to get this massive record deal, and then I didn’t. And I thought my life and career was over — no one would return my phone calls. Sarah heard my story and she said, ‘That’s terrible, I can’t let that happen to you.’ Without her, I would probably have no career at all. She single-handedly convinced everyone in this room to take a chance on me.
