March 23, 2017, Hollywood, Calif. – The Women’s International Music Network (WiMN) announces the artists selected to perform at the official 2017 She Rocks Showcase during the ASCAP “I Create Music” EXPO.

“This year’s submissions were exceptional, and it was great fun to choose from such a large talent pool. We have a diverse lineup that will create a truly special evening. I’m honored to be hosting a show that celebrates women in the music industry,” says WiMN Founder, Laura B. Whitmore.
Called “ethereal, enticing, engaging and beautiful,” by Flavour Mag, CROWN is the artistic vision of Steph Thom, as she explores questions and anecdotes sung to ambient soundscapes. CROWN centralizes her lyrics to instill a message of resistance, openness and honesty: deconstructing taboos, challenging identity constructs and facing the psycho-emotional head on. “CROWN’s ambient, sultry sound marries soul-folk and RnB,” says Hunger TV. Thom is also is creative partner to three-time GRAMMY Award winner Lalah Hathaway. Find out more at sheiscrown.com
