Phi Pham makes the words DJ and business look good together.
Here’s why: Pham is half the brains behind Building Beats, a really epic new startup that helps youth learn and grow through music. Details? The program helps youth develop a practical toolkit: from creating smart biz models to tech skills in software and mixing music.
“It’s great to just have the control to bring people together. It makes you feel like you’re doing something that the world can care about,” Phi told NY1. “What we hope to inspire with these kids is the same reaction.”

The community is stoked that these kids are staying creative, and the kids are happy they could be the next DJ Shadow.
Oooh baby, looks like our future has some rhythm.
