Sponsorship

What your sponsorship makes possible

  • Securing the historic V.I.P. Records location as a permanent home for urban music and culture.
  • State-of-the-art studio equipment and a safe, well-maintained studio space.
  • Professional mentorship from experienced music industry professionals.
  • Workshops & seminars on the skills that matter in the music business.
  • Community outreach that creates more opportunities for personal and artistic growth.

Volunteers & mentors

Your experience can change a life

Some of the biggest names in West Coast music got their start because someone at V.I.P. believed in them. Today we are looking for producers, engineers, artists, videographers and community volunteers ready to do the same for the next generation.

Tell us a little about yourself and how you would like to help, and our team will be in touch.
