The Mechanical Licensing Collective and Nashville Music Equality presented “For The Culture: Empowering Black Music Creators to Achieve Beyond Reach” to commemorate Black Music Month last Tuesday (June 21) at The MLC’s offices in Nashville.

More than 60 individuals attended the event in-person or watched it online, which featured insightful panel presentations from some of the leading African American voices in the music industry, networking opportunities and several musical performances.

Developed by Dae Bogan, the MLC’s Head of Third-Party Partnerships, in collaboration with NME’s Gina Miller, Kortney Toney and Shannon Sanders, the summit was the latest in a series of cultural partnership programs that highlight The MLC’s commitment to diversity.
