Black and Loud Fest and Tour is a Music Fest focused on celebrating the art and culture of black front bands playing music in genres outside the expected norms of traditional hip hop and R’n’B. Explains project founder Cameron Lavi-Jones who is the frontman of his own black fronted band King Youngblood, “ Our vision is to create space for black fronted bands and artists playing everything from Afro-Punk to Rock to Alternative Soul, Alternative Pop, to Spoken Word to pretty much anything but what the main stream music industry expects from black artists. Black and Loud Fest and the touring we are also creating with the brand are a great beautiful for black people and really everyone to celebrate the rainbow of creativity that is Black artists. Donating helps us make it so more people that look like me are seen and heard. This is important not just for Black people but for everyone. Diversity is the core of culture. Black and Loud is a key part of the cultural mosaic we so so so must elevate especially so that we are putting our money where our mouth is when we say Black Lives Matter.
