In a spirited tribute to National Women's Month, Casio America, Inc. has unveiled its Women in Music Spotlight Series.

Stephen Schmidt, Vice President of Casio's Electronic Musical Instrument Division, expressed the company’s excitement, stating, "We are thrilled to spotlight such an inspiring group of female musicians who embody what it means to be bold, creative, and authentic." The series not only showcases these talented artists but also emphasizes the importance of sharing their stories in the comfort of their homes, in hopes of motivating the next generation of musicians to chase their dreams.

The Women in Music Spotlight Series will feature a new artist each month, giving audiences an intimate look at their journeys and musical achievements while honoring the communities that bolster their aspirations. The first lineup includes an eclectic mix of artists, each with a distinctive voice and a deep connection to their Casio instruments.

Spotlighting the First Artists

Known for her compelling performances, she champions the accessibility of music through her work. Sanchez emphasizes the pivotal role her Casio Privia piano plays in her life, stating, "Being a wedding pianist has allowed me to create unforgettable moments through music.
