TWENTY-SEVEN: Human Rights In The Music Industry

TWENTY-SEVEN: Human Rights In The Music Industry is a 177-page discourse written by Corinne Devin Sullivan in 2019 - 2023 advocating protection from human rights abuses to people in American music business dealings.

Writing in clear and persuasive prose, Sullivan has marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the United States to fight for egalitarian rule-making instead of misleading and worn-out clichés such as “the music industry is just that way.”

Sullivan’s work in music included an Oregon petition-drive in support of lawmakers’ attention to human rights abuses suffered by songwriters, musicians and performers. The Oregon petition drive was carried on at music festivals and music stores.

In proportion to the 2018 Music Modernization Act passed by the U.S. Congress, the research dealing with the content of TWENTY-SEVEN: Human Rights In The Music Industry had the larger-scale live review of verified human rights abuses in American history.

TWENTY-SEVEN: Human Rights In The Music Industry made public a persuasive and impassioned case for independence for artists, which had not yet been given serious intellectual consideration. Sullivan connected independence with common dissenting political beliefs as a means to present a distinctly American political identity for the American songwriter, and structured TWENTY-SEVEN: Human Rights In The Music Industry as if it were a political discourse.
