This month’s Student vs. Staff Drum Off brought holiday energy to the studio. Students performed Hot Chocolate by Tyler, The Creator, while staff took on Mr. Grinch, also by Tyler. The battle ended in a tie, making everyone a winner and closing the year with laughter, music, and festive spirit.
Talented guitarist and songwriter Lindsay Ell joined the studio to collaborate with Mikquala on her upcoming EP. Lindsay laid guitar on one of Mikquala’s tracks, marking another exciting step in her growth and highlighting the value of local industry support in youth-led projects.

THE HOLIDAY SESSION
SONIC X MARIO - LIAM
THE DRUM PRODIGY
Our annual Holiday Session returned with new music from the studio. This year’s track, Merry Xmas, features two youth freestyling over a festive beat. It was refreshing to see them channel the holiday spirit while confidently showcasing their mic skills.
Produced by resident video-game producer Liam, Sonic X Mario takes a lo-fi approach while staying rooted in his love for classic game sounds. This track shows his willingness to explore new genres without losing the creative identity that defines his production style.
This video spotlights youth producer D’Anthony, whose talent extends far beyond the studio. A standout drummer at Big Picture High School, he delivered an unforgettable drum solo at a school showcase. Seeing his skill on full display in front of a live audience was a powerful moment for both the studio and the partnership.
