At the 67th Grammys, Chappell Roan, who gained popularity with her hits celebrating queer culture, urged record labels to take care of their artists. Despite being recognized as a new artist, she has a history with the industry, having been signed at a young age and later dropped. In her heartfelt acceptance speech, she called for labels to ensure livable wages and healthcare for artists, particularly those starting their careers, reflecting on her struggle after losing her label support during the pandemic.
If my label would have prioritized artists' health, I could have been provided care by a company I was signed to, which would have helped me immensely.
I told myself if I ever won a Grammy, I would demand that labels in the industry profiting millions of dollars off artists offer a livable wage.
