Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. Victor Hugo On December 7, at one of the landmark music studios with world-class recording facilities in Los Angeles, Pop Rock Band Maroon 5 members James Valentine, Jesse Carmichael and Sam Farrar and the band’s engineer and music producer Noah Passovoy warmly welcomed our AYAs! Band members developed immediate rapport with our AYAs, encouraged their love of music and shared insights into important aspects of songwriting, music performance and production as well as the band's stories and upcoming 2020 Tour. They also demonstrated part of the new release "Memories" by Adam Levine. Immersed in such a friendly and inviting environment, AYAs shared their stories and passion for music, performed for each other, and also developed new friendship. Many were also inspired to write their own songs to truly express themselves. THANK YOU, Maroon 5! AYA@USC Holiday Movie and Bingo Night!
