What a year it has been! Here’s a little recap of some of the highlights before we close for the holidays (we back Jan 13th)…
Collaborating with the @festivaljazzmontreal (@deguepapi and having @georgia.muldrow (musician, legend and angelic human being!) come thru, listen and show support to the incredible talents from our studio. What an honour & blessing!
Much love and gratitude to:
- @sony_music_canada for blessing us with new professional equipment to train and record the youth
-@converse @vlooper__ for donating some fly sneakers
- @lp_lapresse & @ledevoir for covering our program and spreading information about what we do
- @grimeymtl & Ozark @berlam__ marathon fundraisers to raise money for our program
- @socanmusique @beentheredendane & Denis for coming and giving back in the form of information to help better educate our young artists about royalties, song ownership & artist splits.
Also to everyone who offered opportunities for our young artists to perform and gain live experience:
-Montreal Jazz festival (Jai Nitai Lotus set)
- @fourthehood
- MLK performance at City Hall (S/O @francestohner)
- @ebnfloh DNA dance battles & Yukon showcase
- L’ambreuvior showcase ( S/O @yoboy.mars )
Also, we dropped our first playlist exclusively featuring artists from our studio…Run that up! (Link in bio)
Last but not least, there is no NBS without the incredible support from @chaletkent staff & our legendary NBS crew and the many inspiring young artists that charge our space with creative sounds and artistic vision. Y’all are the truth! We love y’all!!!
Stay blessed!

“That moment where it just clicks….”
NBS studio is a non-profit, community-based music studio where youth (ages 13-18) book sessions to record songs and learn how to produce, record, mix and perform. Through our program, youth naturally build relationships that lead to collaborations and networking opportunities. We pride ourselves on being a safe, non-judgmental, creative hub that is a learning ground for youth to build transferable skills through the arts.
