The Hip Hop Biz 101 program is a program that allows youth to express their feelings through music... Up to this point in the program I would say that I actually enjoy this program. I enjoy it because it helps me a lot with my skills towards being a producer ... I think this program can help anyone that wants to be in the music business. This program is a great way to escape the streets to make something of yourself instead of being someone always on the street. This program helps me a lot and I just thank Ms. Blue for opening this program and guiding youth to a better place in life instead of being in trouble.

I am a producer for the Militant
Advocates, D.B.D, and a participant in the FYD Records training courses. For a
while we have been together working on our first CD, and the FYD studio has been
making that possible. It wasn't until becoming a part of the FYD program that I
found out where I belonged. The FYD program opens careers and opportunities.
After recording a song and listening to it just gives you the feeling that
everything is coming together. Keeping this studio open will open up doors for
us and up and coming youth groups.

To Whom This May Concern: Follow Your Dreams is the only reason I am able to follow my dream. I am currently enrolled in a mentorship program at school that allows students to intern for a business in any field they have an interest in. We must spend at least 10 hours per week in site working with a professional and learning as much as we possibly can throughout the school year. If you are unable to find a mentor in your field, unfortunately, you cannot participate in the program. Follow Your Dreams allotted me the opportunity to participate in the program and gain hands-on experience in the music production field, which is what I want to pursue a career in. Follow Your Dreams is a place where youth can gain knowledge about the recording industry and learn the technical side of things also. A child can learn about the various career in the music industry and learn how to engineer and produce music using the different programs that FYD has. I am extremely grateful for the chance to be in the midst of young people that know how to produce and engineer music already.; I admire them because nowadays young people are viewed as troubled or "out of control" when in reality we just need constructive things to do with our time. As an intern at Follow Dreams I am able to learn how to engineer and produce music using a variety of software and production software. I am also in an environment that has a lot of material about the music industry including books and magazines with extensive information about the music industry and the various changes it went through and is continuing to go through again. I also get a chance to develop producing skills and knowledge that a number of youth won't be privy to until they further their education in college. I am extremely thankful for the chance to work with Follow Your Dreams Inc. and in hopes that it will continue to flourish. Sincerely, Alexa |

Dear Madame or Sir: I am writing on behalf of the Follow Your Dreams Music program. This is Asa the co-producer of M.A. and D.B.D. I must say that being in the studio is a good experience for me starting off as a new producer. Being involved here also shows me the time it takes to manage ad studio. We are not only making music here we are trying to fix it up to make it better than what it is now. So we have all put our time into the studio to try to make it better, so please help keep the studio and our dream alive thank you.
