According to a recent report published by the University of Southern California, less than 10% of executives in the music industry are Black. In an effort to increase the number of Black executives across various facets of the music industry, we are excited to announce the Black Music Executives Pipeline Program, in partnership with Color of Change #ChangeMusic. The three month program will equip twelve participants with the tools and skills necessary to succeed as executives in the music industry. All participants will also receive a stipend.
