Wendy Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wendy Day (born 1962) is an American entrepreneur, writer and founder of Rap Coalition, the not-for-profit entity created to protect artists from exploitation in the music industry. The advocacy group arms rappers with the tools needed to succeed in the music industry, by way of free conferences and panels.
Day has been instrumental in the development of several well known rap music stars, including C-Murder, David Banner and Eminem. She allowed Eminem to compete in the Rap Coalition's Rap Olympics, which turned out to be his big break because he finished second and caught the attention of Dr. Dre.
Among the publications Day has written for include The Source, ego trip, VIBE, among many others.
