Message from the Founder
For me, teaching is one of the most rewarding things in life. I want to make the life of each of my students a little better. I want them to be successful in sports and equally important in life. To see them growing up and to try to influence their future in a positive way is what drives me.
I hope that by us creating this new Music Award for High Schoolers, we will influence the lives of the participants for the better. We want to give them an opportunity to compete and for some of them to showcase their talent on one of the most prestigious stages in the United States.
We want to bring people together who otherwise would not meet, and we hope that some of the award winners will continue to pursue their passion for music for the rest of their lives. We want to create positive memories and experiences.
When I told my co-founders, Bryce and William, about the idea during a fencing competition, they were immediately passionate about it. So we combined our talents to create the Pan-American Music Awards.
We see an advantage of us being from a different background. We intend to make this award a different experience from other awards. Some of our ideas, however, depend on the positive reception of this award.
We are very thankful to our panel of prestigious judges who were excited about our ideas and plans for the future of this award.
We are happy to announce that our Awardee Concert will be held at the Weill Recital Hall of Carnegie Hall in October 2024.
So we invite you to embark on this journey with us.
Welcome to the inaugural Pan-American Music Awards.
