All Access: MLC to Host Two Pride Month Events

Mechanical Licensing Collective To Host Two Pride Month Events For LGBT Music Professionals

THE MECHANICAL LICENSING COLLECTIVE (MLC) is celebrating PRIDE Month this JUNE with two events for LGBT music industry creators and professionals, part of the organization’s ongoing work to develop cultural partnership programming that underscores The MLC’s commitment to diversity. First, the first-ever, in-person workshop for LGBT creators at The MLC’s offices in NASHVILLE on JUNE 22nd, and the second edition of its “Tuning Into Pride” roundtable discussion webinar on JUNE 1st at 3p (ET). 

MLC Head of Third-Party Partnerships DAE BOGAN said, “It is an honor to have the encouragement and support of The MLC to develop experiences that champion and recognize the careers and works of LGBT music creators and music industry professionals. I have navigated a nearly 20-year career in the music industry as both a creator and a professional and know firsthand how challenging and empowering it can be to own one's identity. I am excited to invite a diverse group of LGBT music creators and professionals to participate in this year’s PRIDE events and hope that creators and professionals of all walks of life also find value in hearing their stories.”
