In a recent interview Reyez noted, “Sony, it’s 90 employees, but only eight are Black; at Warner, it’s 86 employees, only seven are Black; and at Universal, — I’m personally signed to Universal, but I’m going to be completely open about this — 175 employees, 11 Black people.”
She then continued stating, “Out of those Black people, none of them are in executive positions or leadership positions, except one, Vivian Barclay at Warner Chappell [publishing] — one. She’s the general manager. In the music industry in Canada — one. That’s not acceptable.”
While the four major labels have yet to confirm these statistics, it is clear that ADVANCE and its mandate of providing a unified voice for Black people in the music industry is well-needed.
