Imagine being in a room with your favorite artist asking him/her exactly what you want to know. How did you get started? What were you thinking about when you wrote... ? What’s it like to be on the road for 300 nights of the year? Or anything else you really want to know.
And then imagine that it’s just you and 20 other students – you are close enough you can almost hear the artist breathing.
That’s GRAMMY Camp – SoundCheck.
- Introducing you to the artist.
- Introducing you to someone else from the artist’s essential team – manager, crew member, booking agent.
- And introducing you to the idea of a career in music.
Artists who have participated in GRAMMY Camp – SoundCheck include Dave Matthews, Coldplay, U2, Kanye West, John Mayer, Mary J. Blige, Fall Out Boy, Queen Latifah, Mariah Carey, Phil Collins, Billy Joel and many, many others.
"I think it's great that the GRAMMY Foundation has a program like SoundCheck to help those interested in music and the entertainment industry get started at a young age. When the manager of operations for the Gibson Amphitheatre spoke with us about how he worked his way up in the business, he showed me that if you work hard and never give up, you will succeed."
