The selected students received a once-in-a-lifetime experience in preparation for a career in the competitive music industry. The intention of this creative program is to pioneer the future of the music industry in years to come.

“The key to creating an equitable environment for students of color to learn, grow and rise in the music business relies on executives and companies’ willingness to give them access and support,” Joi Brown, Founder, Culture Creators and Head of Strategic Partnerships, ICM Partners said.

“The WMG Immersion program provided access, leadership, education and mentorship, not to mention opportunity to intern across all business units. We’re proud to have been co-conspirators in the program and looking forward to our next cohort of students to run through the program,” Brown said.

Being an HBCU alum herself, Dr. Maurice Stinnett, WMG, Global Head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, is proud to be a part of this extensive HBCU creators community.

“As a proud HBCU alum, I am thrilled about the creation of WMG’s HBCU Immersion Program,” Dr. Stinnett said.
