“
There's so much great talent coming out of our
music studio. The whole process is a journey
starting from them putting their life experience
down into words and turning that into music.”
— Beryl Bacchus
iHuman’s programs aren’t simple art therapy — it’s a totally
integrated program that develops skills for careers in the arts.
“If they want to try and be artistic and creative, this
is a place to do it and we have the resources — but it also
takes a level of commitment from the young person,” Arceta
says. And the youth who have contributed to the album are
definitely committed.
Through telling their stories in lyric form, the youth
“cultivate strength, confidence, motivation and a sense of
purpose,” Arceta says. For him, seeing the youth cheer each
other on is a huge part of that confidence and sense of pride.
“The smiles and their friends clapping along and saying
‘that came out so dope, so sick, ’ those are the golden moments
in the creative process for many artists,” Arceta adds.
Regardless of the circumstances that bring youth through
iHuman’s doors, the organization’s programming supports
youth-led creative expression and healing through art.
Pointz of View, slated for release in early September,
will be available on all major streaming platforms,
including Spotify and Apple Music.
Hear the music live!
Some of the young musicians will be performing
at iHuman Art Walk on September 12 and 13.
