Black Eyed Peas To Start Music Academy In NYC
NEW YORK (AP) - The Black Eyed Peas are opening a school where local teenagers will learn video and music production using professional-quality equipment.
The six-time Grammy Award winners announced that their Peapod Foundation together with the Adobe Foundation will open a Peapod Adobe Youth Voices music and multimedia academy in lower Manhattan.
The Peapod Foundation is the hip-hop group's charitable organization; it's administered by the Entertainment Industry Foundation. The Adobe Foundation is the philanthropic arm of software maker Adobe Systems Inc., whose products include Acrobat, Flash and Photoshop. The two foundations already run three Youth Voices academies in California in Los Angeles, Oakland and Redwood City.
Students will be accepted into the academy based on recommendations from teachers and demonstrated interests in subject areas such as camera work, editing and graphic design.
