ARTIST ADVOCATE + EMPOWERMENT SPECIALIST

Wendy Day is one of the most respected and influential advocates in the music industry. She founded Rap Coalition in 1992 to level the playing field for artists—fighting against exploitation and helping those with little to no leverage gain power and control over their careers. Over the past 33 years, Wendy has negotiated some of the most artist-friendly deals in history and has been instrumental in creating many music industry millionaires. Her work has helped shape the careers of Eminem, Tupac, Master P, Twista, Cash Money Records, David Banner, Do Or Die, Fiend, Boosie, Webbie, Trouble, Foolio, C-Murder, LaRussell, Flawless, and many more—with her clients collectively selling over a billion units. Wendy’s mission has always been clear: empower artists with knowledge, strategy, and independence. Through her consulting, her how-to books, and artist-first business models, she’s helped hundreds of artists build their own successful labels and careers. Today, Wendy is launching an educational platform and an artist incubator designed to teach artists how to monetize their music, build their brands, and succeed on their own terms. She also hosts two weekly podcasts and has a reality TV show in development with Lifetime. A sought-after speaker and thought leader, Wendy has spoken at Harvard, Stanford, NYU, Georgia Tech, Berklee, University of South Carolina Law School, and other leading institutions. Based in Atlanta, Wendy continues to be a fearless voice for truth, fairness, and artist empowerment in the music business.
