Create Action & Totem Star: Helping Young Recording Artists Thrive

In November of 2021 we announced Totem Star as a recipient of the Sony Create Action Grant. Based in Seattle, Washington, Totem Star supports a "diverse community of young recording artists learning music and life skills through mentorship and meaningful relationships." As recipients of the grant, the nonprofit receives $50,000 in cash to continue and expand the organization's work, this Sony-produced short film telling their story and $50,000 in Sony Electronics products to support their action plan.

Learn more about Create Action Grant recipient Totem Star, a nonprofit organization that supports a diverse community of young recording artists learning music and life skills through mentorship and meaningful relationships.

Through the organization's work with a diverse community of young recording artists, Totem Star has become a place for those artists to build life skills in critical thinking through their creative pursuits in music production and performance, communication and collaboration. This creates an environment for young recording artists to thrive in a community that is inclusive and encourages them to learn about music production and performance.
