Resonate offers a 10-month intensive program for hip-hop enthusiasts. The program invites young rappers, singers, and producers with foundational music experience to join a hip-hop crew, compose songs, and produce an album from scratch. Participants will have the opportunity to perform live concerts around the Salt Lake Valley. With the support of professional teaching artists, participants will refine their songwriting craft through collaboration with peers and learn what it takes to create an authentic hip-hop record that resonates with audiences.
Every summer, the community celebrates the music albums produced by both the Resonate and Musicology programs at Heatwave, Spy Hop’s annual album release music festival!
