LOS ANGELES (Friday, May 19) – Last night at Hotel Ziggy on the Sunset Strip, Grammy-nominated international superstar and LGBTQ+ trailblazer Adam Lambert, on behalf of his Feel Something Foundation, hosted and moderated “Care/Feel,” a candid discussion regarding the intersection of queer identity and mental wellness in the music industry.
Co-hosted by MusiCares® and BMG, the panel was composed of LGBTQ+ industry professionals and artists including Award-Winning Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Animator and Actress Brittany Campbell, BMG’s SVP of Business and Legal Affairs Kris Muñoz, MusicCares’ Managing Director of Mental Health & Addiction Services Janoc Vance, and Pop Singer-Songwriter VINCINT. The full panel discussion, held in Ziggy’s Backbeat music lounge with beverages provided by BeatBox Beverages, Flying Embers Hard Kombucha and Peroni Nastro Azzurro Beer, will be uploaded to MusiCares’ YouTube channel at a later date.
Of his foundation’s event, Lambert said “Queer representation in music has come such a long way and while we celebrate that progress, there is much more work to be done. To that end, I’m honored for my Feel Something Foundation to partner with MusiCares® and BMG to provide a space for LGBTQ+ creatives to come together, share their experiences and discuss how to best support each other and the entire queer community moving forward.”
Covering topics including the queer experience within the music industry, the evolution of LGBTQ+ representation, and the positive effects of music on mental health, the panel discussion builds upon previous events hosted by the Feel Something Foundation to encourage support, community, and change for the LGBTQ community within the music business. | Posted on 19/May/2023 21:46:09
