what is bamx?
This Is Bigger Than a Week.
bamX powers Black Music Week — a citywide experience built to celebrate legacy, elevate new voices, and connect culture to opportunity.
For one week in June, Atlanta becomes the global stage for Black American music and creative influence.
Built on Five Pillars
The Black Music Week foundation stands on five core values.
Music / The Arts
honoring the architects and amplifying what’s next.
Culture Community
because sustainable culture requires healthy people.
Education / Mentorship
mentorship and pathways into the creative industries.
Technology / Innovation
exploring the future of sound, streaming, and innovation.
Economics / Business / Wellness
real conversations about ownership, opportunity, and growth.
Why Atlanta?
Because the world already looks here.
For decades, Atlanta has shaped global sound — from studios to stages to boardrooms. Black Music Week gathers that influence into one visible moment.
When Atlanta moves, culture moves.
What Does That Mean for You?
Panels that spark ideas.
Awards that honor legacy.
Showcases that spotlight rising talent.
Moments that feel bigger than the room you’re in.
This is where conversations turn into collaborations.
America’s Original Music.
Black American music is not a genre — it is the foundation of the American sound.
Born in the American South — from spirituals and blues to jazz, soul, rock, and hip-hop — it shaped every major popular genre that followed.
From Harlem to Detroit to the birth of atlanta. The lineage is clear. What started in fields, churches, juke joints, speakeasy’s & neighborhoods became America’s most powerful cultural export.
Black Music Week honors that history — and asks what comes next.
