Anita ‘Lady A’ White makes her case as a Black female independent artist: 'Sometimes all we have is our name'
"I've put out five CDs under Lady A. They have not put one CD under Lady A," she said."That's their nickname. This is my professional name."
For the purposes of holding people accountable as part of her work in race and social justice, the singer Lady A cited that the band Lady A first brought up the Black Lives Matter movement when announcing the name change. White claimed that sincere allyship sometimes requires giving something up, the stage name in this case.
"If I'm going to have to rebrand myself as something else, because I can't share a name with you... I decided well, maybe rebranding might be the thing to do. Even though I would have to explain that to my community, I'd have to explain it to the kids that I mentor," the singer said."I thought, 'Well, you know what? I can take $5 million, rebrand myself, change all my CDs....' Nobody knows what goes into rebranding.
