Talkin' Music Industry and Music as a Tool of Solidarity, with Doris Muñoz
Manage episode 279775151 series 2838112
In this quarantine episode, Niki interviews Doris Muñoz, founder of Mija Mgmt, representing some of the top emerging Latinx artists. At 23, she took indie artist Cuco from backyard shows to Coachella in just one year. Understanding that representation is not enough for improving the material conditions for immigrants, she started Solidarity for Sanctuary, a concert series that connects undocumented families to grassroots organizations. Through this candid and vulnerable conversation, they discuss the criminalization of communities, the burden of high expectations of success placed on the children of immigrants, and where the music industry must do better.
Doris’ work has been featured in New York Times, Remezcla, Billboard, Redbull, MTV, and more.
