Project Music & Entertainment Alumni, Make Music Count, Featured on TNT’s Game Plan

Project Music & Entertainment alumni, Marcus Blackwell, was featured on TNT’s Game Plan. The show is hosted by NBA star and entrepreneur, Shaquille O’Neal (Shaq), where he shares stories of  inspiration from Black artists and entrepreneurs. Blackwell started Make Music Count as a passion project to help students learn math while also enjoying music. Founded in 2013, it started as an afterschool program but has become a curriculum based app for students in grade 3 through 12.

With the support of Big Boi from Outkast, Shaq featured Make Music Count and provided support to help Blackwell grow his business and reach more children. We are thrilled to see Blackwell’s passion continue to grow.
