For-Profit Social Enterprise

Invest in the
Next Generation

We are bridging the digital divide by training at-risk youth to operate a scalable, AI-powered music company. Join us in creating real economic opportunity.

The Opportunity Gap

Underserved youth are being left behind by the AI revolution. In communities where access to technology is limited, brilliant minds risk being "lost in the masses," cut off from the high-tech skills required for the future economy.

We believe that talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not. Next Gen Sounds exists to fix that imbalance by providing a tangible, high-tech pathway to economic self-sufficiency.

Our Innovative Model

We don't just teach theory. We train youth to build and operate a real, profit-generating music distribution company. They learn by doing—managing assets, analyzing data, and earning revenue.

Tech Literacy

Mastering Generative AI tools, metadata standards, and digital platforms prepares students for the future workforce.

Business Acumen

Running a real P&L, managing royalties, and executing marketing campaigns builds true entrepreneurial muscle.

Social Impact

Preventing negative outcomes like incarceration by providing engaging, positive, and lucrative alternatives.

The Infrastructure

Powered by
The Artist's Cut

Next Gen Sounds is built on the backbone of The Artist's Cut Distribution Inc., a Delaware C-Corp disrupting the music industry with a fair, partnership-driven model.

Global Scale

Our youth run their label on a professional backend (via SonoSuite partnership) that delivers to Spotify, Apple Music, and TikTok globally.

Fair Economics

We model ethical business practices. The Artist's Cut operates on an 85/15 no-fee revenue share, teaching students that success should be shared, not gatekept.

Amplifier Network

Students learn the power of community through our proprietary social tech, which incentivizes artists to cross-promote and support each other's growth.
