A coalition of music groups have formed Music Votes. They will focus on three main areas: voter registration, ID laws, and turnout. What we love is that they are working with record stores and venues, places not always populated by voter information groups. It's an impressive coalition! They've brought in #iVoted, a group that focuses on music fan voter turnout to help identify specific artists for specific cities to help turn out the vote. There are environmental music groups like Reverb, the Hip Hop Caucus, and the Environmental Voter Project involved. #votingmatters #greenvotes

In 2024, is there a difference between women’s and men’s interest in live music? Listening to music—unlike other entertainment activities like sports or social media—is enjoyed at an equal rate by women and men. In the U.S., 74% of these genders are music listeners. When it comes to different types of live music events, however, male music listeners are more likely than female music listeners to have attended a live music event in the past 12 months. Male music listeners are also more likely to plan to attend a live music event in the next 12 months, ranging from concerts to festivals to club events. Given this increased engagement with live music, it comes as no surprise that male live event goers attended an average of 2.8 live music events in the past year, compared to 2.6 among female live event goers.

I've noticed a common issue on social media where some artists express frustration that DJs don't play their music, while DJs, in turn, stress about artists who fail to provide DJ Packs for their singles. In response to this, I've created a document that can be quite helpful. This document outlines the process of preparing a DJ Pack before releasing new music. My main goal is to improve the working relationship between artists and DJs, as I believe it's crucial for promoting African music on a global scale.
