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.
According to an announcement on their official website, proceeds from January 17th will go directly to MusiCares, a charity aiding the music community with essential services during this crisis.
