Grammy Award-winning producer Pharrell Williams is calling out the music industry for its lack of diversity at the top.
During an interview with Bloomberg TV, the 48-year-old singer-songwriter did not hold back on his analysis of the $12.2 billion corporation. The music veteran highlighted the shortage of leadership and gatekeepers who resemble him. He also called out the lack of ownership.
“There’s not enough Black leadership. There’s not enough leadership from people of color,” said the Virginia native. “But there’s also not enough ownership — there just isn’t. As much as the music industry has given me when you really love something or love someone, you can be honest about the things that could be better. I gotta say that the ownership with people of color; it’s just not been the same. And that’s something we’re working on now.”
