Does Hit Central have a studio?Yes, We are opening an exciting Multi-Media Studio in Brooklyn, NY, in the Midwood section. Stay tuned for more details.
Hit Central Music & Media was conceived and born during the covid years, as a recommendation from some friends and advisors. I didn't get it at first, but by that night I was obsessed with it! I saw a path that stretched so far, there was no end in sight! And it keeps getting bigger.
Entertainment by kids, for kids. But how?
For the past 40 years my company, the SkyeLab Music Group, we have been producing artists in our recording studios, along with doing music videos, album covers and promo material. We also handled worldwide distribution and promotion. Like a record label but with a different monetary model.
So I know every piece of this puzzle.
.
We designed this Top-Down music program to teach students how to create their own original music right away, with all the advantages of technology.
Whether it’s Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, or Dance/EDM, the computer plays a major role. And we’ll teach the students the technical and musical skills they need to produce radio-ready music productions, from start to finish.
We also encourage creativity, teamwork, and mutual respect through collaborations with other campers towards an End Goal!
