The Future Is Seattle Music:

“We are the sound of a city in motion — creators, dreamers, and storytellers whose art was born in the rain and raised in resistance. Seattle’s BIPOC artists have long been the soul of this city — shaping its rhythm, carrying its truth, and giving voice to the unheard. Even as we face displacement, rising costs, and fading stages, our spirit remains unshakable. We are still here. We are still creating. We are the sound of the future — and the future is Seattle Music.” -The Seattle Sound Music Awards
