The Problem
Kids are bored and unengaged
Today's boredom looks different. Infinite scrolling in toxic digital landscapes and real-world disconnection from a sense of belonging or self-identity.
Boredom is more than just a temporary state of mind. It can contribute to mental health problems, risky behaviors, poor productivity, weakened social connections, and a sense of meaninglessness. Addressing boredom through engagement in meaningful, stimulating, and purposeful activities is crucial for well-being.

A lack of relevant music education in school systems
2
Children are being molded along an assembly line into young adults who graduate high school with no clue that they could spend their life creatively and generating purpose in their community.
If music education doesn't align with their musical interests, how can it be affective in a post-COVID era where teachers are scrambling to get young people re-engaged in the classroom?
Uninspired kids gravitate towards dangerous coping mechanisms
If there's nothing inspring them to stay out of trouble and contribute to society, what patterns will they fall into or mimic in their surroundings?

The Solution

Create pathways for expression and purpose
We’ve dedicated ourselves to creating new pathways for creative expression & purpose for underserved communities.
Help kids make beats by providing workshops, camps, and mentorships
We empower local leaders to build teams that bring studios and knowledge directly to the kids who need it most.
Fight boredom and reduce barriers to careers in music
This helps kids become engaged in learning and aware of their potential to create music and community events. Thus, fighting boredom… and empowering them to create sustainable futures for themselves doing something they love.
