The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Black Music Action Coalition will provide mentorship and financial support to emerging Black and female artists.
The BMAC Music Maker Guaranteed Income and Mentorship Program — like a similar program BMAC started with the Academy of Country Music launched earlier this year — will provide $1,000 a month in aid to those selected, as well as provide them with access to those in the music industry who can help advise them on their careers.
“The year of economic support can assist with basic needs such as rent, utilities and food, as well as open the door for previously challenging career moves such as studio time, travel for shows or networking opportunities, marketing, and even legal services,” the organizations said of the program. Additionally, those selected for the program will empower “the next generation of leaders in the early stages of their careers by granting access to professional development opportunities, industry mentorship, industry exposure, and visibility with BMAC and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members and industry leaders.”
The mentorship program “requires a bold look at old systems that don’t work and allows people to rise up as they see fit. Our direct economic empowerment programs have the chance to end paternalistic governance that demeans those living with economic challenges,” they added. Candidates between 18-30 years old, demonstrate financial need, and reside in the United States can fill out applications for the program starting Thursday, November 2. The program itself will begin in February 2024 to coincide with Black History Month. BMAC will also host a summit that month during Grammys week.
