Crowd during the 2021 Global Citizen Live festival at the Great Lawn, Central Park on September 25, 2021 in New York City.When Global Citizen began holding simultaneous concerts at various locations around the planet in 2012, the organization’s primary stated aim was to end global poverty.
“I’ve performed on stages around the world, and a collaboration with an organization like Global Citizen always makes it extra special. For the past decade, Global Citizen has shown how our art is about more than just music,” says 19-time Hot 100 topper Mariah Carey. “Working together in the fight to end extreme poverty is an incredible opportunity to connect with fans and artists from around the globe and envision the world we want for generations to come.
“We’re so thankful for the support the music industry has given us,” Evans says. “We’d be nowhere without people like Michele Anthony [executive vp, Universal Music Group] and Rob Light [managing partner/head of worldwide touring, Creative Artists Agency] and Michael Rapino [president/CEO, Live Nation Entertainment] and Jay Marciano [chairman/CEO, AEG Presents; COO/office of the chairman, AEG]. I’m eternally indebted.
And the door is wide open for more partners, particularly when it comes to people who can help “drive younger generations” to take action. “If you’re an artist and a music executive and you want to work with us to meaningfully mobilize to help break systemic barriers – particularly as they relate to climate change, empowerment of women and girls and poverty alleviation – we’d love to work with you,” Evans says.
