The group has started a petition on Change.org
Following the arrest of recording artist David Anthony Burke, AKA D4VD, Industry Blackout has launched a petition calling on streaming platforms to remove his music.
The advocacy group has put out a “call to arms” to take down the artist’s recordings after he was accused of killing a 14-year-old, Celeste Rivas Hernandez. In the social media post, the organization explains the allegations of what D4VD has been accused of and wants the wiping to reflect the fight against domestic violence and abuse.
The petition was started on Change.org. They are asking people to sign it and tag the major streaming platforms (Apple, Spotify, YouTube, etc.). They are asking for the maintenance of an ethical code in music.
“As advocates against violence and abuse in the music industry, we at Industry Blackout are calling on music streaming platforms and industry stakeholders to remove all music by the artist D4VD from their catalogs.”
It had been alleged that the singer was in an inappropriate sexual relationship with Hernandez. Family members said that she met D4VD online and had been seen publicly with him. Prosecutors allege that he killed her after she threatened to expose it. The murder charge carries special circumstances of lying in wait, committing murder for financial gain, and murdering a witness to a crime, making him eligible for life without parole or the death penalty.
