MSTERMND Academy teaches underserved Chicago youth (ages 14-24) to write, produce, and professionally release music using AI technology, removing the $5,000-10,000 barrier that excludes talented students from low-income communities. In 8 weeks, students with zero experience create and release 1-3 original songs on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms—earning real writer/producer credits while learning AI literacy and entrepreneurial skills.
