Building Beats - We Do It For The Kids

This past year was our first year funding programs that provided DJ and music production classes in New York City. With the help from our all our supporters and friends, we were able to provide workshops throughout the city for students to learn basic music production skills. With many arts and music programs cut from budgets throughout the city, we want to make a difference with the help of the music community. Join us and help us raise funds to provide more DJ and music production programs for students in 2014.

A little bit about Building Beats:
Building Beats is a registered non-profit organization that helps find, gather, and provide funding to after-school music programs in underfunded and tapped-out communities. The organization was co-founded by Phi Unit - a nighttime DJ and daytime professional in the non-profit sector - and is kept in motion by him and a small, close-knit team of music-loving folk who come from backgrounds in that vary from the creative (venue booking, PR, social media, video editing, design, journalism) to suit-and-tie (law, finance). We work hand-in-hand with partner organizations and members of the global DJ community who share our vision of free and accessible music education for all. Together we strive to raise awareness about the lack of funding and importance of music in schools, organize workshops for participating programs, andinvest in creative arts programs that help build larger-picture life skills through Building Beats.
