Jonathan "Chaka" Mahone
Jonathan “Chaka” Mahone of hip-hop duo Riders Against the Storm powerfully leads in an era polluted by performative activism. The current chair of the Austin Music Commission successfully advocated for 50% of the Austin Live Music Fund to go toward a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) creatives fund. He also created his own Black Live Music Fund with the goal of awarding $2,500 grants to Black members of Austin’s music scene. And as politicians pointed fingers while Texas froze over, the Brown University alum says he sent out $32,000 in direct cash assistance via his DAWA Fund.
