According to Mattel, “The 2025 Barbie Women in Music: Career of the Year set features two distinct industry roles – Musical Artist and Tour Manager – designed to inspire the next generation to explore careers in music, both on stage and behind the scenes.” While most girls are more than aware of their favorite music artists, Barbie wants to highlight the role of tour manager, a career in the music industry where women are often underrepresented.
For the musical artist doll, Barbie recognizes that “only 22% of artists across music charts are female, the Barbie Musical Artist doll celebrates the women leaving their hearts on the stage by performing and singing their own music across genres.” In the same vein, the tour manager doll honors the 31% of tour managers worldwide who are women and encourages girls to explore the limitless careers in music, on and off the stage.
Bringing the dolls to life are Keys and her recording and mix engineer, Ann Mincieli. For those unfamiliar, Mincieli is a four-time Grammy award-winning engineer and producer, most known for engineering Alicia’s second studio album, The Diary of Alicia Keys, as well as, Keys’ Girl On Fire. Their one-of-a-kind dolls feature a matching “She is the Music” t-shirt, with Alicia repping a sharp, dark denim suit in black heels and Ann sporting a blue jacket with ripped jeans and high-top sneakers.
