Heather Mae, the acclaimed social justice singer-songwriter, fearlessly bares her soul in her music, creating an intimate space of shared vulnerability for her listeners. Her unbridled honesty, both on and off stage, has cultivated a devoted fanbase and garnered recognition, including accolades like the winner of the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter Showcase and Northeast Regional Folk Alliance Artist-Activist of the Year award.
In her 2019 release, "Glimmer," Heather Mae crafts a luminescent masterpiece, drawing parallels to vocal powerhouses Adele and Sara Bareilles. With storytelling depth reminiscent of Florence Welch, the record uniquely centers on mental health, with each lyric unveiling a portrait of resilience and self-discovery.
Positioned on the cusp of unveiling her upcoming post-pandemic double record, Mae embarked on a mission to address the stark gender disparity for music producers—a mere 4% representation by women. In 2023, Heather Mae rallied a dynamic collective of women and non-binary talents in Nashville, assembling luminaries like producer ZDAN and Lollies, alongside guest artists such as Grammy award-winning musician Allison Russell and the extraordinary duo Sistastrings. Together, they crafted two electrifying albums in two distinct genres, showcasing the unparalleled talent and versatility of women and non-binary music makers.
Leading the charge in queer songwriting, Mae is poised to make a resounding impact with both groundbreaking records slated for release in 2024-2025.

The Empowerment Studio’s mission is to change the world by building a culture of compliments and radical self love. We’re a boudoir studio at our core, but we go far beyond that as well: we’re also a community of awesome humans who want to make the world a more kind place for EVERYONE. We celebrate ALL bodies, and gently learn to love parts of ourselves in different ways and/or with more gusto! If you've been to the studio, if you hang out with us online, if you’ve ever participated in a Selfie Challenge — you're part of it! Welcome, friend!
We are a queer-owned and radically trans-inclusive community, and I hope you know how welcome you are here. The Empowerment Studio is dedicated to all magical genders of humans for all things empowerment, taking up space, bodies, and community. We are here to change this world to be more positive, inclusive, and kind.
