Discogs to Contribute Proceeds to Victims of Los Angeles Wildfires; Fender Pledges $100,000 to Replace Instruments

Discogs donates to wildfire relief

Discogs has announced that all sales proceeds from January 17th will be donated to victims of the Los Angeles wildfires.

Impact of the wildfires

The devastating fires ignited on January 7, claiming 24 lives and leaving thousands without homes. Currently, at least 16 individuals are reported missing, with that number expected to increase as search operations continue.

Notable artists affected include Jhené Aiko, Madlib, Diane Warren, Iron Maiden’s Adrian Smith, and others like Stevie Aiello and Tina Knowles, who have also lost their homes.

Artists such as Kid Cudi, Bebe Rexha, and Guapdad 4000 have also been forced to evacuate as the fires spread in areas like Pacific Palisades and Eaton.
