JOIN THE INITIATIVE
Sound Initiative recognizes the need to create equity and access. Our mission is to bring together two groups of music enthusiasts, Music Makers And Music Representatives to develop a new type of organization to provide tools and resources for Black Music Makers seeking to get their music successfully placed in media.
MUSIC MAKERS
