Three up-and-coming musicians will showcase their unique musical styles for a class project supporting local music and musicians. The event is free and open to all ages.<\/p>\n<p>Singer\/songwriter Ben Shaman, hip-hop artist B. Dot Jack, and chillwave practitioner Argiflex, will each showcase a selection of original songs as the culmination of a semester-long student entrepreneurship project based out of the Delta Music Institute.&nbsp; This showcase will serve as a platform to elevate local music and also provide an project-based learning experience for students preparing for a career in the music industry.<\/p>\n<p>Interdisciplinary Studies major Brandy Brasfield comments, &ldquo;This class has challenged us to think outside the box in how a showcase is put together. Some people think it&#8217;s just making a phone call, but it involves so much more than that.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Delta Music Institute is an independent center of study under the College of Arts &amp; Sciences at Delta State University, offering a B.S. in Music Industry Studies degree. The focus of the DMI is to provide students with a broad and thorough education in the technological, creative, and business areas of the music and entertainment industry.
