September 24, 2021 UPDATE – Our friends and collaborators at Amplify Project have announced that applications are open for their second fellowship of artists! Application window closes October 15. Apply now!
July 29, 2021 – This week, Title Track is honored to present our collaboration with the Amplify Project as we showcase their three inaugural fellows: London Beck, Dani Darling, and Kenyatta Rashon. We are so excited to share about these three phenomenal talents who use creative practice to inspire, uplift, and tell their stories.
In the summer of 2020, Grove Studios (Ypsilanti, Michigan) and Leon Speakers (Ann Arbor, Michigan), entered into an agreement to create a fellowship intended to amplify African-American creativity in Washtenaw County. The partnership encompasses artistic development, collaborations with the community through service, and experiential learning. They support the cultivation of musical talent and growth of the modern music movement in the area to develop Washtenaw County as an innovative hub of music for generations to come.
The mission of the Amplify Fellowship is to provide resources and access to African-American musical artists to encourage free expression untethered by social inequity. We commit to leveraging business relationships and community partnerships to amplify the voices of Black artists, encouraging artistic ownership of their craft and strengthening our connections with communities in need.
