Supporting the next generation
Beenie Man, who began his own career as a child performer, says the workshops are a way of giving back to the industry that has shaped his life.
“I’m giving back to the industry that catapulted me to global fame,” he shared on social media.
The workshops will be led by Beenie Man and a team of experienced musicians, producers, and industry professionals. Together, they will guide participants through the basics of several music-related fields including: Vocal performance, Instrumental training (guitar, drums, saxophone, and more), Music production and beat-making, Audio engineering, Selecting and DJ techniques, Songwriting and composition.
By offering exposure to a range of roles within the music ecosystem, the program hopes to encourage children to explore their interests — whether they want to perform, produce, or work behind the scenes.
The workshops are open to all children with a genuine interest in music. While the first session is based in Kingston, Beenie Man has indicated that the program will expand to other parishes over the coming months.
Beenie Man’s new initiative stresses the importance of mentorship and cultural investment. For families across Jamaica and in the wider Caribbean diaspora, it’s an opportunity to support youth development through music — an area where the island has long made a global impact.
