Program

The Knockstudy program is a collaborative effort between Knocksteady and the Bresee Foundation. A music production and DJing program for high school students in the greater Los Angeles area, Knockstudy classes are held at the Bresee Youth Community Center. Our aim is to provide access and instruction to quality DJ/production equipment and talent.

The Bresee Foundation is a nonprofit community center that is a source of faith, hope and service to low-income youth, adults and families in central Los Angeles. They serve nearly 2,000 individuals annually, primarily at-risk youth from the Mid-Wilshire, Koreatown, Pico Union, and Westlake neighborhoods (90004, 90020, 90057). Most residents live below poverty level and have no access to health care. These inner-city youths are often exposed to criminal and gang activity, and over 50% of students are not expected to graduate high school.
