🎶 Today is #MusicAdvocacyDay! Big thanks to @RepGLatimer for meeting with our team to champion creators. AI companies must pay for the art they use — support the #NOFAKES Act to protect songwriters, performers & studio pros: congressweb.com/GRAMMY/99/ #ProtectCreators

As a #MusicAdvocate, I’m proud to join @GRAMMYAdvocacy and @RecordingAcad members nationwide today to fight for the protection of music creators from AI exploitation and urge Congress to support laws that safeguard our music community. Stand With Music: grm.my/47umFMn

Today, we support the #FansFirstAct and stand with the independent live entertainment community against unfair ticketing practices. Let Congress know we need transparency and fairness in ticketing now.  Make your voice heard by contacting Congress at fixthetix.org

(1/8) Today, a group of music companies filed important new lawsuits against two AI music companies, Suno and Udio.  I explained why this case matters so much in Billboard today. billboard.com/pro/riaa-mitch…
