Building Beats provides DJ and music programs that
teach entrepreneurial, leadership, and life skills
to underserved youth.
We're on a mission to build the next generation of producers, creators, and makers. Join The Legacy to create lasting change in music and technology education.
We believe in using students' passion for music as a pathway to build entrepreneurial skills.
Becoming a DJ or producer reinforces the same skills needed to run a business, become a leader, and change the world.
We envision a world where everyone can realize their creative potential and use it to make a difference in their community.
We partner with organizations and programs that share this vision.
100% of the contributions we raise online go toward supporting programs that allow students to express themselves through DJ'ing, music and art, while developing personal skills that will help propel them to a brighter future.
