Give a Beat Records
We launched a record label!
Give a Beat Records supports people after incarceration, helping them produce, distribute, and market original music for global release, giving our artists access to platforms and resources to share their unique voices with the world.
To celebrate, we’re hosting an event at LA’s Apotheke on September 14th.
