June is Black Music Month, a time to elevate Black voices and celebrate Black music. A time to recognize the Black community’s invaluable contributions to music and culture.
In 2021, we began an interview series featuring enlightening conversations about Black Music And Leadership In Politics and Entertainment. We have continued the series through 2024 with more great conversations between key Members of Congress and leaders at DiMA member companies. Check out our first conversation of 2024 below, and stay tuned for our specially curated Black Music Month playlists, developed based on songs and artists highlighted in the conversations
You can find our interviews and playlists from 2021, 2022, and 2023 here. You can also tune into our Black Music Month blog series where music experts dive into the history of Black music in different genres. Click here for the 2022 blog. Click here for the 2023 blog.
