'As a Grammy Award-winning songwriter, composer, creative advocate and industry veteran of 15 years, the increasing mistreatment of the Black creative by executives within our community is alarming.'

"There's more than one side: Black creatives who are in the trenches every day want to sit down with you and have meaningful conversations about sustainable change."

It’s no secret that most of you have been limited in your abilities at labels. However, there are some who've had the ability to do more but just haven’t. We’re all aware of the history of countless Black artists being denied basic artistic rights like publishing, promotion and — as simple as it sounds — room and board. We also know about Black artists who’ve had music stolen and repackaged by white artists.

The music business is full of risks. That’s common knowledge. But while some of you are too afraid to take any risks, others will only execute business that benefits them on multiple sides of the transaction. When A&R’s commandeer the budgets of signed artists and steer them to exclusively work with the songwriters and producers they manage in order to get paid on the side, sometimes the quality of music suffers.
