1900+ Black Artists, Black-Owned Labels On Bandcamp Highlighted In Volunteer Produced Guide

In the mostly white world of indie music, a list of black artists, producers. and labels started for last week’s Bandcamp commission-free solo now also serves as a guide for discovery and support of an underappreciated community of creators and small business.

Volunteers put together a list of more than 1900 Black artists, producers and black-owned labels to support on Bandcamp.

“This sheet is a work in progress (non-exhaustive) and administered by a group of volunteers – any additions/edits/suggestions are very welcome via e-mail with links to collectivedatavol@gmail.com,” reads the top of the Google spreadsheet. “Please only suggest Black producers / artists or Black owned labels.”
