Constantly championing youth education, the entire ETM-LA team believes that music education is a right that every student deserves access to, and continues to keep their vision at the core of their organization's values. Honorary Chair Members of ETM-LA include Taylor Swift, Chris Martin, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, HAIM, Snoop Dogg, Anna Kendrick, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, John Legend, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Tedder, and Harvey Mason Jr. Additional champions and past gala attendees include Ed Helms, Bono/U2, Chris Meledandri, Rickey Minor, Common, Cynthia Erivo, John Williams, Michael Giacchino, Christopher Lennertz, Brian Tyler, John Debney, Alan Menken, Blake Neely, Germaine Franco, Lorne Balfe, Zach Robinson, Arturo Sandoval, Steve Aoki, and J.J. Abrams.
Executive Director of ETM-LA Victoria Lanier shared her appreciation and pride in what the program has accomplished thus far. "I am deeply grateful for our Shining Star honorees and everyone who joined us in support of our 17th Year Benefit Gala," she said. "We appreciate everyone's efforts to further our mission to expand music education programs in under-resourced schools. It truly takes a village; and together, one school at a time, we are helping to ensure that all students can receive the life-changing benefits of music education to reach their fullest potential."
Since its creation, the nonprofit organization has now reached approximately 19K students through 45 schools across Los Angeles County. They continue to partner with under-resourced schools in order to provide music as a core academic subject. The gala was ETM-LA's largest to date, raising over $750,000 to further its mission.
Honoree Mike Knobloch noted how ETM-LA's mission resonated with him on a personal level. "Can you imagine not having music classes in grade school?," he reflected. "I can't, and I wouldn't be who I am today had music not been part of my education. ETM-LA is an amazing organization that has been making a real impact on so many students' development for years. As ETM-LA's Shining Star Artist honoree this year, I am genuinely honored and passionately committed to the important work that they do."
