Black musicians have provided the soundtrack for many significant cultural movements, even if not always recognized for it.   At Sony Music Group, we believe it's crucial to recognize the profound influence of Black contributors and the undeniable Blackness throughout the spectrum of musical expression. This past month we’ve celebrated #BlackMusicMonth by hosting a variety of events and discussions with our employees highlighting the extensive impact Black artists have had across various genres.   #BlackMusicMonth #LifeatSonyMusic   (Note: Reposted with updated branding.)

This Pride Month, we’ve been celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and underscoring our commitment to creating an environment where every person can be authentic and live out loud. This year, we challenge ourselves to reimagine what it means to be an ally to our artists, songwriters, employees, and fans around the world who are part of this multifaceted and vibrant community.    Sony Music employees have participated in Pride-themed discussions, luncheons, workout classes, and are marching in Pride Parades around the world!    #PrideMonth #LifeatSonyMusic Cara Olson

Black Music can’t be defined by a single genre, for its impact often creates and shapes the foundation for genres such as hip-hop, jazz, pop, country, and more. So, this Black Music Month, Sony Music Group proudly honors the pioneering artistic contributions of the Black artists, songwriters, and musicians shaping our industry.   Sony Music Group is embracing a singular, unifying theme for every heritage acknowledgement and celebration in 2024: Reimagining CommUNITY. Inspired by the art we create, music can help us strengthen our connections to the people and cultures around us, so everyone can belong and thrive.
