“I told myself, if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stand up here in front of the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels in the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a livable wage and healthcare, especially to developing artists,” Roan said on Sunday, Feb. 2, accepting her Grammy for best new artist.

“Because I got signed so young, I got signed as a minor, and when I got dropped, I had zero job experience under my belt,” she continued, “and like most people, I had a difficult time finding a job in a pandemic and could not afford health insurance.”
