Since the fires broke out last week, across the Los Angeles area, the music community has come together to show support for those affected. Beyoncé’s BeyGood announced a $2.5 million donation for relief efforts, and the Recording Academy and MusiCares set aside $1 million for relief efforts aimed at musicians and other industry professionals.
