Advance, Canada's Black Music Business Collective, aims to 'provide a unified voice'

Called Advance, Canada's Black Music Business Collective, the group says it wants to develop an infrastructure for the betterment, upliftment and retention of Black people in Canada's music industry.

It also wants to build "a more equitable Canadian music industry that grants Canada's Black music communities a fair and valued voice in a consistently growing music nation." On its website, Advance vows to hold the corporate, private and government sectors accountable, and create "conditions for long-term success by addressing racial equality and inclusivity through four areas."

Those areas are advocacy, mentorship, community outreach, and business development and entrepreneurship. On Twitter, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences said it welcomes the creation of the organization and looks forward to working with it "and supporting the goal of a more equitable Canadian music industry."Haviah Mighty performs during the 2019 Polaris Music Prize in Toronto on Monday, Sept. 16, 2019.
