Recording Academy & MusiCares Supports Musicians Affected By The Fire..

Following the launch of the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort, the Recording Academy and MusiCares have committed $1 million to support musicians impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.

Individuals and families in the music industry who are experiencing loss and displacement as a result of the disaster will receive both short-term relief and long-term support.

Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of MusiCares and the Recording Academy, responded to the destruction by saying:

“The music community is being so severely impacted, but we will come together as an industry to support one another. Our organizations exist to serve music people because music is a powerful force for good in the world, and we hope the broader industry will now rally to this cause.”

MusiCares has been responding to crises that impact the music industry for more than thirty years, offering crucial assistance during emergencies. MusiCares has been an essential resource for the music community during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as during the wildfires in California and Maui.

“We expect the disaster relief efforts in Los Angeles to be extraordinary, if even just on the basis of how many music people have lost their homes in the last day. MusiCares is always committed to ensuring that music professionals are supported in times of crisis, and we ask for the larger community to donate for those in need at this dire time,” said Laura Segura, Executive Director of MusiCares. “MusiCares can help with short term emergent needs for those currently displaced, and then longer-term services as we get a handle on the full extent of how music people are impacted.”
