Congrats to the 2023 Alumni!
On Sunday, the members of Get Lit’s Mixtape Masterclass graduated from the one year music production program. After a full year of professional training from specialists and industry experts, students learned to produce and market their own music, efficiently navigate music producing software, and understand the fundamentals of DJing. They even had opportunities to perform their own music!
Family and friends gathered in celebration of their hard work at the Get Lit office to hear song and rap performances from Casey Menke, Robert Shelton, Carlos Bravo, James Walker-Ziegler, and Kyland Talbott and enjoyed some pizza and conversation after.
Be sure to watch out for an updated post with the link to the mixtape they created which will be out on Spotify by August 18th!
Want to be part of the action? Our Mixtape Masterclass program is for youth, ages 13-21, who are interested in building their musical talent and knowledge.
