Jelly Roll is living proof that music can in fact save a life and because of that, he has dedicated countless hours to finding new ways to use his growing platform to help others get a second chance at life too. One of the Antioch, TN native’s most recent accomplishments is opening a music studio in Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, the same facility that he spent time during his youth.
To celebrate the unveiling of the new studio space, Jelly Roll teamed up with the Beat of Life Organization, a Nashville-based non-profit that aims to create songwriting/music programs for vulnerable populations around the country, to host a “Redemption Songs” event. This exciting new venture comes after Jelly Roll proudly dedicated a portion of proceeds from his Bridgestone Arena headlining show last December to help fund the program.
“When I was in juvenile, we never got a visitor. We never had a mentor, nobody ever came to see us,” he explained. “To be able to come back on these terms is a dream that I have and this is only the beginning.”
