HORIZON VALLEY ALBUM
UNIQUEYOUTH
After seven focused weeks of writing, producing, and refining, the Horizon Valley album officially dropped on SoundCloud. Every track was mixed and mastered on time, showcasing the dedication and talent of our youth collective. This album marks a major milestone, representing not just the music we created, but the sense of community we built in the process. It’s a full-circlecreativemomentwe’reincrediblyproudof.
WITHERED BILLS MUSIC VIDEO
Captured during our Power Youth program, this still comes from the “Withered Bills” music video, featuring myself and youth artist Cody. The energy behind this shoot was real — we brought our bars to life in a high-impact visual experience. The clickable link lets viewers step into our creative world and see what happens when young voices are given the space and tools to express themselves authentically and withpurpose.
WAR MACHINE MUSIC VIDEO NO CAP (LIVE) SOPHIA
This animated visualizer for “War Machine,” performedbyNicole,standsoutasafirstforthe Nashville East studio — and a rarity across the entire Notes for Notes network. Blending storytelling and motion, this release opens new doors for how we visually represent our music. Nicole's performance combined with striking animation proves that creativity knows no limits when youth have access to innovative tools and support.
This moment captures AP3 and Tre performing “No Cap” live — a first for both artists in very different ways. It was AP3’s debut onstage, and the first time Tre stepped into the spotlight as a front-and-center performer rather than his usual role on guitar. The energy was electric, and seeing both of them push pasttheircomfortzonestodeliveramemorableshow made this performance one of the summer’s highlights.
ROCKS THE EAST ROOM
Our intern and day-one collaborator Sophia hit the stage at the East Room, one of Nashville’s beloved venues. With college just around the corner, this show was a celebration of her growth as both an artist and a person. From recording in the studio to commanding a live stage, Sophia has continuously inspired those around her. This performance marked not just a goodbye-for-now, but a powerfulsendoffintohernextchapter.
