Apple Gets A Cool Image, What Do Artists Get?


Listen Later

Local bands and artists are being asked to perform at San Francisco's Apple store in Union Square. As payment they get Airpods, Apple TV, or a watch. Not money. It's a story that KQED Arts music editor Nastia Voynovskya first broke. Some artists like the exposure from a large corporation like Apple. Others say artists, many whom are people of color, are being used to advertise Apple's image as creative and diverse.

Guest: Nastia Voynovskaya, music editor at KQED Arts
