Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, and Noah Kahan Donate $25K Each to Support Struggling Artists

The donations follow Roan's Grammy speech calling for better wages and healthcare for developing musicians, sparking a broader conversation in the music industry.

  • Chappell Roan announced a $25,000 donation to struggling artists after her Grammy speech advocating for livable wages and healthcare in the music industry.
  • Charli XCX and Noah Kahan matched Roan's donation, pledging $25,000 each to support artists' access to healthcare.
  • Roan's donation was a direct response to criticism from former music executive Jeff Rabhan, who challenged her to 'put her money where her mouth is.'
  • The initiative has drawn support from other artists, including Halsey, who defended Roan against Rabhan's criticism in a Hollywood Reporter op-ed.
  • Roan emphasized that her actions were a call for industry leaders to step up, rather than a rally for fan donations, highlighting the need for systemic change.
