Branding and visibility is a matter of being true to yourself – as much so in the art world as it is in the business world. For rising opera star J’nai Bridges, being true to herself means breaking through the stereotypes that pit her race and her craft against each other. J’nai is an American opera singer who is known for her plush-voice mezzo-soprano and has sung in major mezzo-soprano roles, such as Dalila in Samson et Dalila, Carmen and Nefertiti of Akhnaten. Elizabeth Bachman proudly presents her in this episode of The Relationship between Business and Art. Ever wondered what it’s like to be a black opera singer in an industry that is so traditional, it just recently realizing the racism that is embedded in some of its practices? Being a black opera singer itself breaks so many stereotypes and J’nai is certainly a disruptor in that regard.
