The fellowship grant initiative is aimed to benefit Black voices in the indie music community and the duo were handpicked for their transformational work within the music industry and through the initiative will introduce projects and programming to designed to meet the creative needs of its target audience, the release added.
Verse and Hook Founders, Norm and Brown, have stood as “silent weapons” behind the creative, music and cultural forces in many notable brands. They create a unique experience through music and advertising, and are why you’ve experienced the brands of Pepsi, Jeep, Youtube Music, Paypal, and Bacardi the way you have.
