Black Music Collective LLC
🖤 Welcome to BMC — The Black Music Collective LLC
BMC is a creative platform and cooperative-rooted business committed to music, ownership, and liberation.We were founded to serve the legacy and future of Black music—but we’re building something for everyone who believes in freedom, fairness, and the power of collective culture.Led by a Black artist and community organizer, BMC is grounded in cooperative values and structured for long-term change. We provide infrastructure, support, and economic pathways for artists and communities to thrive—without gatekeepers, exploitation, or extractive deals.We’re not a label. We’re a liberation model.
Join us in making music that matters—and economies that last.Why We Exist
The music industry is still broken. Even as Black culture drives the global sound, Black artists remain underpaid, underrepresented, and over-exploited.Only 12% (or less) of industry revenue reaches artists.Less than 5% of music executives are Black.Over $300 billion in annual cultural value is extracted from Black creativity—without reinvestment.BMC exists to change that—by modeling a system that is:Cooperatively governed
Artist-first and community-accountable
Designed to redistribute wealth through ownership, not exploitationWe believe in a future where music empowers, not impoverishes—and where collective joy can also build collective equity.What We Stand For:🎤 Creative freedom without compromise
🤝 Fair deal structures that don’t take more than they give
🧠 Transparent, artist-owned infrastructure
🌍 Community wealth and cultural stewardship
💥 Radical reinvestment in people, not platformsHow You Can Join Us
