HANNAH TAKES THE LEAD Hannah Banana stepped up during Chi Kids Sing to perform for her peers, showing off her vocal abilities and confidence. A familiar face in the studio, Hannah continues to lead by example and encourage our younger singers.

REVLIVING THE MOMENT We're still riding the high from The Big 3's performance at the Chicago Sky game on August 22! In collaboration with Creative Netwerk, Brooklyn, Aiden, and Hannah took their talents to a professional basketball arena for Skye the Lioness' birthday celebration. We're excited to finally share the full performance video and relive another incredible milestone in their journey as young Chicago artists!
GROWN VIDEO: COMING SOON The official music video for “GROWN,” The Big 3's collaboration with legendary Chicago producer DJ Slugo and Creative Netwerk, is coming this October! Filmed over the summer with the help of youth from across the James Jordan Boys & Girls Club, the video brings the song's message about growing up too fast to life. It's a fun, youthcentered visual celebrating childhood, creativity, and collaboration, with plenty of familiar faces from our Club!
