Speaking about the festival in a press release, festival founder and CEO Jeff Consoletti stated:
"We created OUTLOUD as an incubator to support emerging queer artists who gain invaluable exposure alongside some of the most iconic names in music. For over twenty years, I have been fortunate to be able to champion these artists through increased visibility both during Pride Month and throughout the year."
The founder continued:
"Our partnership with the City of West Hollywood has been integral to this mission, allowing us to amplify the voices of LGBTQ+ artists and celebrate our community together ."
OUTLOUD Music Festival has a deep connection with the WeHo pride and the West Hollywood community in general, which is known for being one of the more successful cases of counter-culture community building, particularly immigrant and queer communities.
West Hollywood was the center of a community of queer and immigrant people fleeing the persecution of the 1980s War on Drugs and the AIDs epidemic-related persecution. This led to the city incorporating queer leadership, which cemented its place in the US queer and pride movement and its history.
