OHMYGOSSIP — Zara Larsson felt “scared” of the inappropriate behaviour of music executives.
The 23-year-old singer has revealed that attitudes towards her among older male music executives changed when she turned 18 and she conceded that the industry wasn’t an easy place to navigate at the time.
Reflecting on her past problems, she shared: “Having to call them a lot to tell them they’re doing a great job or they’ll be really pouty and angry.
“And also when things don’t go their way, they might walk out of a meeting. And people are like, ‘He’s so passionate!’ While really, it’s just like, ‘What the f*** was that?'”
Zara can still remember the executives trying to assume control of her career.
She recalled: “Imagine me being there, super young, and all of these older guys, producers, writers, executives, they’ve been in the industry way longer than I have.
“Why would I think that my opinion is better? Why would I think that I know what’s good when clearly these guys have been in it for way longer than I have? It easy to be in that position and think: ‘Oh, but they know better than I do.'”
Zara always considered herself to be a strong-willed young woman, but she was shocked by the inappropriate behaviour of the executives.
And she’s admitted to freezing amid one particularly scary experience.
The ‘Lush Life’ hitmaker told The Independent: “It was hard because I did find myself in situations where I just choked.
“I’m a very strong feminist. I don’t budge. If anybody was trying to make a move I would hit them, you know what I mean? And then you sit there and feel some f****** old man touching your thigh and you just freeze. And the woman I thought I was going to be at that point was just gone. And that scared me so much.
“And then you feel guilty because you didn’t say anything, or you didn’t make it clear enough that that was very inappropriate.”
