“There is so much opportunity out there for everyone. It doesn't need to be the same 10 people.” @MattHeadMusic Middle School teacher turned Emmy, NAACP Image and Peabody Award-winning composer Matthew Head, whose long list of projects include Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s Gospel and P-Valley, is a part of a small but impeccable group of Black composers in the entertainment industry. Matthew's also a part of the Composer Diversity Collective, an organization dedicated to eradicating barriers in the industry for music supervisors, sound engineers, music creators and musicians of color. Matthew, we salute you!

This #MLKDay Weekend, we are highlighting the importance of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech as it relates to Black Preaching. This speech is a moment in history where America discovered Black Preaching on a mass scale. #GospelPBS premieres February 12th and 13th on @pbs!

For #GospelPBS, I visited the Hampton University Ministers' Conference! At this conference, I discussed how music is integrated into preaching with Bishop Rudolph McKissick and Rev. Dr. William Curtis. Watch GOSPEL on February 12th and 13th only on @pbs!

#GospelPBS is a two-night event premiering this February that explores the history and significance of Gospel music and preaching in Black churches. Mark your calendars to join me for this exciting musical 🎶 journey on February 12th and 13th only on @pbs.

Been in my film producer bag heavy the past 72 hrs and it’s paying off!! Blessings on blessings. 🥂🙏🏾#steadygrind

I asked @MattHeadMusic how he won an Emmy Didn't seek an agent Didn't seek paying clients Didn't advertise his services Just years of free/low fee work scoring short films for new producers Some of those producers are now major directors and they call him. Not in any book

Thank you for all the love. Although I didn’t get an #Emmy nomination I’m grateful to be on a series that has a huge impact on the culture. Congratulations to all the nominees. Special shout out to @PValleySTARZ hair department on their nomination. 🥂🙏🏾

“Goodnight, sweet Queen. Heaven got some fire in that choir tonight.” Rest in power, @TinaTurner. 🕊️
