Diversify the Stage: How Noelle Scaggs of Fitz and the Tantrums Is Making the Concert Industry More Inclusive

WorkParty

You know this week’s WorkParty guest as the co-lead singer of the pop-alt band Fitz and The Tantrums. She’s lent her voice to top-charting songs like "Out of My League," "HandClap," and "The Walker." But now, she’s using her voice in a whole new way. As the founder of the diversity initiative Diversify the Stage Noelle Scaggs is on a mission to make career opportunities in music more accessible to BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, female-identifying, gender-nonconforming individuals, and disabled persons, across all stages. And it couldn’t have come at a more crucial moment. According to recent research, just 21% of popular artists are women, 12% are songwriters, and only 2% are producers. And the stats are even bleaker for Women of Color. It’s clear the music industry needs to change—and Noelle is leading the way. Needless to say, I can’t wait to dive into the incredible career of this successful multi-hyphenate and learn more about how she’s transforming the music industry through her Diversify the Stage initiative.
