This year, two recipients of the fund attended GMA IMMERSE thanks to Red Street Records’ CEO /Owner Jay DeMarcus and General Manager Don Koch.
The scholarships, selected by a group of industry executives and Red Street Records team members, were awarded to Abby Siler and Kendall Pond.

These scholarships allow students to attend the conference who otherwise would not be able to attend.

On behalf of GMA, IMMERSE and our students, we are abundantly grateful.”

It is an honor for Red Street Records, and for me personally, to give back and invest in the lives and careers of such young, bright-minded talent in an industry that I so dearly love.”
