About this Event

The Portland Black Music Expo​ is a multi-day entertainment experience and cultural conversation which unifies and reflects the richness of Black people and their culture. This production combines live entertainment in a variety of Black-influenced genres, informative panel discussions, and a hub for community resources. The Expo highlights artistic elements of the Black experience in an inclusive space intended to promote, uplift, and empower patrons from diverse backgrounds both personally and professionally. ​This year’s event will use the platform of music to highlight the importance of voting in our upcoming presidential election..

The Portland Black Music Expo was founded by Tony Ozier and David Jackson (aka DJ O.G. ONE) with the intention to recognize the artistic contributions of Black individuals in the Rose City and beyond.
