There was also a scholarship for the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/meritmusic.org\/summer-camps\/\" rel=\"noopener\">summer program<\/a><\/strong>.

I learned more teaching than I did playing. It inspired me to dive deeper into being able to explain [music], or being able to do things like help my friend <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chanceraps.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chance [the Rapper]<\/a><\/strong> with his music, or explain this entry path when talking to kids at a school about why they can have a <em>career<\/em> in music and not just dream of being <strong>just<\/strong> a rapper or <strong>just<\/strong> a vocalist or this that and the third. There are a lot of media positions in our field that can be filled with the knowledge that we get from music every day. So, it\u2019s nice to be able to explain that at a community-based level in my position in Chicago, [while] having a studio and having access to people. Music is an ever-evolving and evolving thing, so it\u2019s great to be part of that community.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>We love that you support Merit\u2014why is Merit one of the causes that you care about, and why is giving back to Merit so important to you?<\/strong><\/p><p>Merit gave back to me and gave back to my friends, like [alums] <a href=\"https:\/\/www.juliandavisreid.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Julian Reid<\/strong><\/a> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/nicosegal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nico Segal<\/a>,<\/strong> and other cats that were part of the program. And, you know the age-old story of arts programs fading in Chicago. I am here as an advocate of stopping that story from happening, because we have a strong foundation of touring musicians, local musicians, national and international musicians. I just don&#8217;t want that story [around lack of arts funding] to keep being told. I think Merit is a foundation for that to keep happening in the city, so I want to support it in any way that I can.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35724 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/11-300x300.png.webp?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/11-300x300.png.webp?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/11-300x300.png.webp?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/11-300x300.png.webp?resize=12%2C12&amp;ssl=1 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>[There&#8217;s an] age-old story of arts programs fading in Chicago.
