Madonna is teaming up with membership company Bilt, the membership for where you live, to pay for one month of rent for every New York City musician at a place that’s very special to the artists.
The generous move is part of a larger exclusive collaboration between Madonna and Bilt to celebrate the July 3 release of Confessions II (the follow-up to her acclaimed 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor). Together, Madonna and Bilt will provide free rent at the iconic Music Building in Midtown, the rehearsal place where artists can live as well as record, and where Madonna kicked off her own music career in the early ’80s.
In a statement provided to PEOPLE, the singer said, “Artists arrive every day to New York, with a dream and more often than not with little else. As much as I struggled when I showed up here with nothing, I look back very fondly on this time in my life. The creativity, diversity and community of artists all supporting each other while having the freedom to experiment is something I would have never experienced in another place.”
