Hannah Reid, known as London Grammar singer, tells of her “constant battle” with the male-dominated music industry. She became famous a decade ago as the frontwoman of the three-piece band known for hits “Let Me Lose My Mind” and” Reckless“, alongside bandmates Dan Rothman and Dominic Major.

You can see it in them having control over their careers and saying everything they want to say.”
