Music Industry Research
As part of Newhouse’s undergraduate research program, I conducted an independent project on social justice and media literacy, focusing on racial bias in the music industry. My research, “The Urban Dilemma: A Look at Genre Biases in the Music Industry,” examined how Black musicians are often boxed into certain genres and how those assumptions shape audience perception, industry treatment, and overall career trajectories. It was a deep dive into the way race and marketing intersect—and how those biases quietly influence who gets visibility and who doesn’t.
