Find Your Flow,
Feel Your Freedom.
A lot of things in life are scary...
Making music shouldn't be one of them. Let's go beyond your fear, to feel your freedom.
​​
When we were children we used to sing, dance and make up songs about anything we could think of. We didn't care about how we sounded. We didn't care about what we said. All we cared about was having fun. We felt courage in our creation, freedom in our expression, and joy in our hearts. Allow me to support you in rediscovering your courage, passion, joy, and freedom through music. You don't need experience. You don't need any "musical ability." All ages and levels welcomed.
There's a song within your heart waiting to be heard, that's why it has a beat!
Testimonials.
My name is Elizabeth and I’m a Professional Mentor at Friends of the Children. I participated in one of SEL Hip-Hop's Songwriting Workshops with a few coworkers and some of our program youth. I figured I’d be in the room to help support the youth I was with, and I had no intention of saying much, let alone sharing my free verse. Right away, Malik set the tone by asking and remembering all our names and what kind of music each of us enjoyed. The room was instantly comfortable and fun, allowing each of us to be exactly who we are.
​
What stood out to me as the session continued, was how Malik consistently and authentically gave each person in the room a voice. The youth I was with is pretty shy, and soon she was raising her hand, offering ideas for our group rap song. I, at first reluctant, found myself fully engaged and having a great time. My youth and I swapped our rap verses and got up and shared them with the group! I did not see that coming. When the session was over, we were still humming the songs and tapping the beat.
Whether you have a spark for music making or you just want a few hours of fun, Malik’s workshops leave you feeling part of something special.

My name is Estefania, I am the Bilingual Education Program Coordinator at FriendsPDX. For me personally, I was a little nervous at first to do the workshop because poetry isn’t one of my strengths, but Malik made it super easy to get comfortable.
Aside from the workshop that was fun and engaging the entire time, Malik had such positive, fun, welcoming, yet calm, and peaceful energy about him. His engagement with youth was incredible, from the very social youth to the timid youth, he did great with everyone. He was encouraging and provided such a great space for the students and adults.
