Who we are

We live in a world where kids come together to make noise, learn modern skills, and create something dope along the waves.

If your child loves music, we’d love to have them in our Los Angeles-based classes. Our music production classes are inclusive and we welcome children of all abilities ages 7 - 17 years old.
