GCA Skill-based Youth Workshops!
DISCOVERING OUR GENIUS!
Genius Child Academy is the brainchild of Earl Christian III aka “ Mr. UrbanWallStreet”, with the purpose of tapping into the creative genius of the youth. “We are all blessed with a God-given genius, a skill or talent that represents who we are deep inside. Unfortunately, many children never identify their ‘genius’, thus never fully manifesting some of the greatest dreams or ambitions.”
The goal of GCA is to bring talented, accomplished creatives who have discovered and mastered their genius, to middle and high school classrooms via various day/after-school workshops. When the youth are given opportunities to be creative in their passions, it creates a much more balanced being, with greater self-esteem, and a belief in oneself that can not, nor will not be denied.
The first “GENIUS“ to join GCA is legendary DJ Wiz of pioneering Hip Hop group KID ‘n play, and we are THRILLED to have him, and his DEEJAYING 101 curriculum!
Who is DJ Wiz?
Legendary Mark “DJ Wiz” Eastmond, of pioneerign Hip Hop group KID ‘n PLAY, is bringing his years of experience and imprint in the Hip Hop culture to the classroom with his “Deejaying 101” Workshop, in which students will have the opportunity to learn the basics and advanced skills of professionals.
DJ Wiz has travelled the world, playing music for THOUSANDS of people. As Hip Hop has become the biggest musical genre, and a culture where the aspirations to be a part of are overflowing, he will educate the youth on the history of Hip Hop, deejaying, and how to make a living doing something you love! This is will be the ultimate “how-to” for all who dream of one day spinning for radio stations, and rocking the crowd at clubs, concerts, and outdoor events, and more!
Kid ’n Play TV Series
Kid 'n Play is a 1990 animated cartoon series based on the real life hip-hop duo, Kid 'n Play. It ran for one season on NBC from September 8 to December 8, 1990. On the show, Kid 'n Play were portrayed as teenagers, along with their friend Jazzy, their producer Hurbie and their DJ Wiz, but their recording careers remained the same as in real life, as did their character traits.
