quote:

“This is probably the biggest criticism I’ve received, and it is such a critical conversation when it comes to black artists,” the singer said. “When black people see a lot of white people in the audience, they think, ‘Well, this isn’t for me. This is for them.’ The thing is, when a black artist reaches a certain level of popularity, it’s going to be a predominantly white crowd.”


quote:

The intelligent singer and the business woman added, “I am not making music for white people. I am a black woman. I am making music from my black experience.”

She should make sure she constantly emphasizes this. Make sure all of her audience is aware of who she wants to consume and appreciate her music.

She probably shouldn't make music just for white people, but for whoever likes that type of music. I see she says she makes music from her black experience, so does she talk about all you can eat buffets in her songs? A legit question I think.

Good, the only black people I listen to are the Temptations and Hootie, but I think he’s White adjacent.

Say “I want to cater to a small niche audience” while not saying “I want to cater to a small niche audience.”
