Ronin’s Story- Give in Gratitude

When *Ronin first stepped in the Notes4Notes (N4N) studio at the Al Lenzmeier West Side Club, he was quiet and reserved. Over time, he began to open up and gain confidence in the recording booth. Soon he was in the studio every single day singing, rapping, and producing. Staff watched as Ronin became more social with his peers, even recruiting other Club youth who have found their own passions through music. He is always excited and proud to share his original music creations. 

“The studio isn’t just about music, it’s about growth, vulnerability, and empowerment. For Ronin, music has helped him grow into being comfortable to show who he really is.” 

– John, Producer and N4N Program Director
