“Beats Lab have facilitated music production sessions for young people at our centres for over two years now and it has been amazing to witness the bond they have with workshop participants and youth workers alike. The music sessions have resulted in a noticeable growth of confidence and positive attitude among our young people, with many of them returning specifically to see Annalise and her team again. The Beatslab crew are very professional, friendly and flexible. They were able to adapt their sessions to changing needs, various themes requested by participants, last minute cancellations, several lockdowns and the outcome of each project is always amazing. I could not recommend them enough!”
— Viktória Szántó, Project Manager - Youth First
“Beats Lab have been a great creative resource to stimulate our young people with their musical and lyric writing talents. They have introduced them to production techniques allowing them to create their own original songs, all guided by a brilliant and caring team. Fully recommend!”
