Country music is not just for white people. It's time to acknowledge the contributions of black artists to this genre, from the past to the present. #Beyoncé's recent album launch at the #SuperBowl has brought a lot of attention to this issue. Despite the lack of representation at country music awards, black artists have been using music to express themselves for centuries and this genre is no exception. Even Elvis Presley's music style was inspired by the black community, so was Rock n Roll, Jazz and House Music. This raises important questions about cultural appropriation, as discussed in my lecture at the British School of Fashion. The fashion and music industries often take inspiration from black culture without giving credit or equity. It's time to change that. We need to encourage more black artists to take on country music and other genres they have been excluded from, like Beyoncé and Lil Nas X. Let's celebrate the diversity of music and the voices that make it great. Check out this article by Essence Communications Inc. on the contributions of black people to popular music throughout history. #cultureappropriation

Founder, LYI Agency | Host, The GAUDS Show | The Culture Referee Living at the Intersection of Music & Culture.
I had a chance last week to join Cara Kneer and her incredible team at Atlanta & Co. to talk about Black Music Month and Atlanta's musical contributions. The conversation around equity has to continue beyond June. Here are my big takeaways on the issues in the industry as it stands for black artists and professionals and my proposed solutions to help make the music industry a more successful industry for all. The Issues: We have little to no control of how the music comes out and is shared/framed with the public, the labels and system do. This prevents us from moving culture in a positive way. We have little to no control over finances. This creates opportunities where young people and young leaders can be taken advantage and "pimped out" for short-term corporate profits. We have little to no control of the people. Sure, we are seeing more black executives than in the past, but in the system they are reinforcing the institution. When I was in this system I gave up my freedom to be able to create systemic change and I knew that. That change has to be done by means of getting the full trust that other groups have over their music (Latins running Latin music, Nashville people running country music) I KNOW all of this is because I was in this and lived this and when I tried to change things I got the boot. The Solutions: Grassroots community building - we as a black community need to start investing in each other and passing our knowledge on in an impactful way to the generation behind us. We need to bring awareness to our non-black friends to understand what we are up against and how this is actually preventing moving culture forward for all of us. Real ACTUAL inclusivity, not empty titles/positions where black leaders can't actually lead https://lnkd.in/er-kD3jS #blackmusicmonth #dei #diversity #equity #blackprofessionals #blackbusiness #musicindustry #music #entertainment #entrepreneurship #raydaniels
