CUSD Scholars Create Song, Music Video on John Lennon Bus
Centennial and Dominguez High School scholars recently debuted the song “Ain’t Nothing Like This.” The song was created on the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, with the support of Dolby Laboratories.
The bus, a cutting-edge mobile recording and multimedia production facility, visited Centennial High School in late June where scholars worked with the on-board crew of producers to write the original song, record it, and shoot a music video.
As part of this project, the creators showcased their work in Dolby Atmos at the Arts Media and Entertainment Institute in Burbank.
Credits for the song include:
Aubriana Flowers - Artist, Songwriter, Co Producer
Jose (Kat) Ibarra - Artist, Songwriter
Eunice Rivera - Drums, Programmer
Ma’Kyah Wells - Bass, Vocals
David Morales - Guitar
Dope Candi - Co-Producer, A&R, Coordinator, Teacher, Centennial High School
