Grammy Directors Participating In YMR Mentoring Program

Award-winning music producers and music directors of the Grammy Awards, Larry Batiste and Claytoven Richardson, have teamed up with Youth Movement Records to mentor young performers, songwriters and producers. Batiste and Richardson had been previously involved with YMR, volunteering their time to teach songwriting and music theory. But the new mentoring program this summer is stepping it up a notch. They will be paired as professional mentors to five of YMR's most promising young musicians and performers, spending a month with each, guiding them in many facets of the business and the art of performing, and helping them produce their best work. You can read more about YMR's mentoring program in this Oakland Tribune article or visit the Youth Movement Records website.
