The Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC) today announced a collaboration with HBCU AWAREFEST, the largest fundraising event for HBCUs convened through the partnership between Student Freedom Initiative (SFI) and Live Nation Urban, to create paid pathways into the live music industry for students. Through a special cohort of the BMAC Live Accelerator Program, 15 students will receive paid, hands-on experience working behind the scenes of the multi-day festival while gaining real-world exposure to careers in live entertainment.
