Like so many of you, we sat down on February 2nd and turned on the 67th annual Grammy Awards. In the midst of the accolades, the performances, the ‘fits, the praise, and the prose, one speech grabbed our attention - and that of the entertainment media as a whole.
When Chappell Roan took to the stage to accept her award for best new artist, she used the opportunity to air her opinions around artist equity, support, and future expectations for the industry.
As we stand today, health & wellness offerings are not standardized across the music business. Though the call to action gets louder and louder with each passing year, the systemic changes and true initiatives seem to be slow rolling.
This is not a mechanism to hop on Chappell’s coattails and sing our own praise in the form of ‘We Told You So!” “We Agree!” “Major Labels Need to Step Up!” All of these things may be true, but we do not feel it fitting.
Instead, with inspiration from this new spark of industry-wide dialogue, we decide to sit back and reflect on our proud accomplishments. We see the music business for what it is, but we are also hopeful we can have a hand in changing it. We are proud of the connections we’ve made, the services we are able to provide, and the strategic opportunities for expansion that are sitting at our doorstep.
In conclusion, please take the time to read Spinach Records’ 2024 Impact Report. We thank you for sharing in our mission, and showing your support by way of GREENROOM.
