Reggae singer Akustix has joined the Creators’ Rights Movement (CRM), a Georgia-registered advocacy organisation, as a national spokesperson.
“Akustix represents what it means to be a creator with Purpose, Property, and Legacy,” a CRM spokesperson said. “From protecting creators’ rights to topping the charts, he embodies our mission. This double nomination on an international stage proves that purpose-driven artistry is being recognized.”
Reggae artiste Akustix secured two nominations at the 2026 Reggae North Music Awards, earning recognition for Top Male Vocalist and Top Reggae Single – Male. The awards ceremony took place on September 27 at The Rose Brampton in Brampton, Canada.
CRM said Akustix joined the movement voluntarily and plans to use his platform to support its petition campaign. The organisation advocates for creators’ rights, ownership and the ability to build wealth that can be passed to future generations.
It is also undertaking a national Creators’ Tour, bringing together people working in music, film, literature and art to discuss copyright and ownership. CRM said a full calendar of events would be announced later.
he Creator Rights Movement has assembled a diverse coalition of creative professionals from across the music, film and publishing industries, all united around what they describe as systemic inequities in the way artists are compensated and protected.
Among those supporting the initiative are songwriter and former Motown artist Ricky Abernathy of Lakeside, filmmaker Phabian Winfield, rapper and producer Shawn Mims—best known for the hit This Is Why I’m Hot—R&B artist S.O.A.Q. (Abdul Qadaae Bey), Akustix Andrew Donovan White and many other musicians, producers and speakers.
CRM managing partner Kimberly Weekes argued that the issues extend beyond business disputes.
“What every creator around the world is experiencing is a human rights violation,” she said. “Frankie gives voice to millions who’ve been silenced by fine print and bad deals.”
