Sony Music Group is embracing a singular, unifying theme for every heritage acknowledgement and celebration in 2024: Reimagining CommUNITY. Inspired by the art we create, music can help us strengthen our connections to the people and cultures around us, so everyone can belong and thrive.
During Asian, Pacific Islander, Desi, American (APIDA) Heritage Month, we fostered understanding and increased knowledge about the APIDA community and their ongoing impact on global culture, while also acknowledging the challenges they continue to face. Through our Global Social Justice Fund, we are able to continue supporting and empowering the worldwide APIDA community beyond the month of May.
