Clean Music Matters celebrates positive messaging in music that inspire our youth and communities to achieve greatness against all odds.
We are concerned about predominant negative messaging in popular music and entertainment that glorifies criminal lifestyles, promiscuity and violence — which has a detrimental impact on multicultural youth and spurs racial tension. Heavily funded by predators who profit at the expense of our children, we must work together to address and resolve this imminent danger.
Clean Music Matters purpose is to promote, inspire and popularize healthy lifestyles through music in a form youth relate; institute positive balance in media directed toward our communities on a local, regional and national scale; and bridge divides.
