announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with GLAAD on an initiative spotlighting LGBTQ artists and songwriters and advance LGBTQ representation in the music industry.
“Over the past several years, many LGBTQ artists have made major strides within the music industry, but there is still significant room to improve LGBTQ inclusion, representation, and awareness at all levels,” said GLAAD President/CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a statement.
The Media Institute will also work with SMG throughout 2022 to consult on campaigns highlighting contemporary LGBTQ issues and/or people. “We believe in building an industry that is as diverse as the stories our artists and songwriters tell through their music every day,” said Tiffany R. Warren, Executive Vice President, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Sony Music Group in a statement.
GLAAD and Sony Music Group will also launch the first-of-its-kind “ICONS” interview series, which will bring together LGBTQ musicians, songwriters and producers across generations for a three-part series of discussions about the history of LGBTQ inclusion in music.
