The broad range of equipment and skilled
practitioners enabled the large groups to be engaged from the outset in lyric
writing, scratch mixing, beat production as the children and young people were
thrilled to record their own songs and rhymes.
One of the most outstanding factors was
during your performance the self motivated inclusion of children and young
people requesting to join your performance and perform their own pieces,
written and produced that very day, incredible, and testament to Defcons
natural ability to draw out the hidden skills, achieving trust, rapport and
positive mentoring with challenging groups of children and young people
widening horizons and realizing talent
