Spotlight on Delia Orjuela, ETM-LA Board Member & Head of Creative Mexican Music\/M\u00fasica Mexicana at Warner Chappell Music<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Please share a little about yourself and your relationship with music & ETM-LA.<\/strong><\/p>

Throughout my career, my goal has always been to bridge the gap between creativity and business in music. My longstanding relationship with ETM-LA is rooted in the shared belief that every child deserves access to quality music education from the very start. As a passionate advocate for songwriters and artists, serving on the board allows me to champion a journey that often begins in childhood, ensuring they have the tools they need to pursue their dreams.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Why is music education so important for every child?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Music education is an essential part of growing up and provides a child with a safe space for self-expression. Research shows that it improves their overall academic performance, improves their critical thinking, and helps their mental health. By providing access to these resources, we\u2019re fostering a child\u2019s creativity and innovation while also helping them build a strong foundation for years to come.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Why should students to learn not only about musical performance, but all facets of the music industry?<\/strong><\/p>

It is essential for students to realize that their passion for music goes beyond the stage and that there is a wide array of career paths they can pursue. From management and publishing to finance and touring, understanding these different sectors empowers them to see how the entire ecosystem works together.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Why is it important for the executive side of the music industry to be diverse both in gender and cultural background?<\/strong><\/p>

The music business should be diverse in gender and cultural background both on and off the stage to truly reflect the artists and fans we represent. At Warner Chappell, we live by the motto \u201cWhere Songwriters Are Heard\u201d because we know it\u2019s essential that every voice is respected and championed. It\u2019s likewise important for leadership to embody these values, ensuring that the next generation of executives is as vibrant and inclusive as the music itself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
