About Us:

HMA is a program teaching music and music business to under-resourced youth aged 12-18 in the San Fernando Valley/area of Los Angeles, California.

We are excited to provide engaging education and inspiration led by experienced music industry professionals to students who would likely never have an opportunity like this. We want to shed light on career paths that youth might not know about, show a positive pathway for youth to focus on, and help build the skills and connections needed along the way.

In order to break barriers to opportunity, our academy is at zero financial cost to students!
