Chino XL, Davey D and Sway Confirmed for Hip-Hop Leadership Camp At UCLA
Rapper Chino XL, journalist/activist/Hip-Hop historian Davey D and MTV personality Sway are among the speakers confirmed for the second annual Hip-Hop Leadership Camp (HHLC).
The camp, scheduled for August 10-13 at UCLA, will feature daily seminars conducted by music and entertainment figures for at-risk children in the Los Angeles area.
The purpose of the event is to promote leadership and the empowerment of at-risk youth by introducing and illustrating career tools via hands-on workshops with DJs, radio personalities, artists, video producers, business managers, accountants, marketing/A&R representatives, and lawyers.
"This camp is more than just a series of classes," said HHLC founder Karen Levy. "The personal interaction and application of the skills acquired in the program gives them the chance to experience their potential as future leaders by using their love of Hip-Hop and entertainment as a learning tool."
Thirty-five inner-city youth, who will be housed at UCLA, will participate in a five-day apprenticeship with some of the industry's top professionals.
Other speakers for this year's camp include: Big Paul, senior director Promotion Mixshow Radio, National, Universal Music Group/Motown; Big Jon Platt, executive senior vice president Urban Music, EMI Music Publishing; Cynthia Johnson, senior vice president Warner Bros Records; Gary Jackson, UCLA Hip-Hop business professor; DJ Skee DJ for The Game and businessman; Angela Sanchez, director, online marketing Universal Video and Distribution; Myra McCaskill,CPA; director, marketing finance and planning Geffen.
