DAVID CICILLINE FOR CONVERSATION ABOUT CONGRESSIONAL LGBTQ+ EQUALITY CAUCUS

PANEL PART OF “MUSIC MATTERS WITH RIAA” PARTNERSHIP

This week, vocal powerhouse Brooke Eden joined Congressman David Cicilline, Chair of the Congressional LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus, for a conversation surrounding LGBTQ+ equality and representation. Moderated by Tom Clees, VP, Federal Public Policy at RIAA, Brooke and Congressman Cicilline discussed a plethora of issues including the importance of the arts, the impact of representation in society and government, as well as some of the work the two are doing in their respective fields to further the conversation. Watch the conversation HERE.

“We’re incredibly proud to partner with Brooke on the ‘Music Matters with RIAA’ program,” says Jackie Jones, VP of Artist and Industry Relations at RIAA. “Bringing Brooke’s powerful story out into the community and connecting artists and policymakers for authentic, honest moments is the perfect way to celebrate Pride and allow the worlds of music and politics to learn and grow together.”

Eden and Congressman Cicilline dove deep into a number of topics during their nearly 20-minute conversation for the RIAA Pride Panel. The two discussed their own experiences discovering their true selves in less than welcoming situations, pointing to the things they learned and sharing how important it is to see other LGBTQ+ folks visibly succeeding. Brooke discussed how music allows her to tell her authentic story, and how her newest track “Left You For Me” is arguably the most honest chapter in that story to date. Brooke’s conversation with Congressman Cicilline is part of her ongoing “Music Matters with RIAA” partnership.

In the first week of its release, the video for Brooke’s latest song “Left You For Me” has been in steady rotation at CMT punctuated by an airing in Times Square. The track additionally has appeared on multiple playlists. Brooke’s debut performance of “Left You For Me” took place at CMA Fest followed by an electric performance at the official Pride Pit Stop Presented by Soap & Glory in NYC. More recently, she just performed the inspiring track at NYC’s Pride March and on NBC’s Today.
