“This partnership with Wasserman Music and TSU is the beginning of a movement that will grow and further expand to colleges across the country,” said BMAC co-founder and co-chairin a release. “Not only are we ensuring meaningful paid internships with support services like housing and transportation but to have the opportunity to bring in subject matter experts and industry leaders to conduct in-person classes will be invaluable to the students.
The initiative is one of many commitments Wasserman Music has made via its partnership with civil rights nonprofit Color of Change and its #ChangeMusic platform. The agency plans to expand the program to other historically Black colleges and universities in future years. YouTube, in partnership with 353 Media Group, will be supporting this initiative by capturing content from the program to showcase its impact and encourage additional partners and universities to participate in the future.
“Tennessee State University has one of the longest established Commercial Music degree programs in the country, not to mention HBCUs,” said TSU head of the department of music. “We are extremely pleased to join all of the program partners in this activity to expand equity of access and participation within all parts of the music industry to students, who upon graduation, have too often found themselves marginalized and shut out from full participation.
Additional program partners include the International Entertainment Buyers Association, Spotify, the Country Music Association, SOLID Nashville, Sony Music and the Country Music Hall of Fame.Daily newsletters straight to your inbox
