YouTube Teams With U.S. State Department on Music Diplomacy Initiative Supported by Jelly Roll, Chuck D
YouTube and the U.S. State Department have enlisted Jelly Roll and more for a music diplomacy initiative also supported by Chuck D and Lainey Wilson.
Chuck D, Herbie Hancock, Jelly Roll, Armani White, Breland, Denyce Graves, Grace Bowers, Justin Tranter, Kane Brown, Lainey Wilson and Teddy Swims are all participating, with additional artists to be announced. During the height of the Cold War, the United States launched the Jazz Ambassadors program to send artists like Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughn overseas to bridge cultural gaps and cultivate goodwill across the globe. “We’re excited to be a part of the next chapter in music diplomacy, helping to amplify the voices of artists and strengthen our community bonds across borders,” the statement continued.
