Meet The Team
Comprised of mostly BIPOC instructors and program staff, our team at Keys Beats Bars embodies a mentorship, teaching, and programmatic style that is flexible and people-focused to the youth we support and the community partners we engage with.
From the range of lived experiences amongst our team to the decades of combined professional experience in our instructors’ creative arts and our staffs’ admin, programming, and media work, we move collectively in our work of displaying cultural music as an alternative form to heal and strengthen people and communities.
