PHOTOS BY JEN ELLIS - ADDITIONAL PICS HERE
Revisiting a few highlighted moments from our April ‘25 session with nationally known DJ, educator, AND former Music Lab Director, DJ Bizzon!
We kicked things off with Teen Social Hour at 4, soundtracked by HYFIN’s own A Bizz before Bizzon took over the stage (literally!) with a live mix set that turned into a full-on crowd experience. Then GWML Director B~Free sat down with him for an inspiring convo on “The Art of DJing,” digging into his journey & what it really takes to make DJing a career. & of course, our teen open mic was next level — packed with bold, original, & heartfelt performances from some of the most talented youth in the city!🧡
There is just ONE more Music Lab session left before the close of season 8, with the last one on its way this month! Sign-up is open now on the home page for our NEXT session on Friday, MAY 7th. & ICYMI, check out the full Apr ‘25 session replay streaming here 😎🔥🎵🧪🚀

RECAP: GWML + AmFAM 4TH ANNUAL SUMMERFEST COLLAB
Sharing a few highlights from our 4th annual GWML pop-up showcase on June 27th, presented by American Family Insurance!
We journeyed back to Summerfest for star-studded treatment & a featured segment at the AmFam House; the premiere venue space that hosts notable musicians from various stages throughout the festival run - including our young stars! Program leader B~Free presented three amazing acts from the Lab program while allowing them an opportunity to perform for the first time at one of the world’s largest music festivals. With stellar talents in rapping, singing, music production & instrumentation, our Lab lineup definitely showed up & showed OUT for our audience of friends, family & Summerfest attendees.
Thank you once again to our program supporters at AmFam for presenting us with this opportunity! We look forward to continuing our collaborative relationship with wonderful orgs like this & creating more opportunities for our Music Lab youth & alum. Stay tuned to our socials & www.gwmusiclab.com for more Lab sessions for teens at the start of the upcoming school year! 🚀🎵🧪🔥
