Musician Dolly Mavies Stands on Principle, Declines Performance for Political Figure JD Vance

London, UK – Musician Dolly Mavies has garnered significant public attention after revealing her decision to decline a performance opportunity for JD Vance, a prominent political figure. In a video statement, Mavies explained that her band was initially booked for a private event without full disclosure of the client's identity. Upon discovering the event was for Vance, the artist and her band chose to withdraw. "We were booked for a gig and turned up, not knowing it was for him, and then decided we were going to leave because it's not something we wanted to do," Mavies stated in her video. She expressed gratitude for the widespread support she has received since sharing her story, noting that her decision unexpectedly became a news article and prompted an influx of messages from around the world. The incident has sparked considerable discussion online, with many commending Mavies for prioritizing her values. Comments from supporters included, "Well done! Morals over money 🙌" and "I live in the US and am so grateful to those of you who will not bend your morals for a... 'man'. Artists who place morals above money will always have my support." Another commenter from the US added, "JD Vance is from my state and he’s seriously the worst of the worst. He doesn’t deserve to have any good music grace his presence." The artist concluded her statement by emphasizing the importance of "standing up for what you believe in" and doing "what makes you feel comfortable."
