The event was organized by MCCPS music teacher Adria Smith.  “We are very excited to have FLINTface perform for our students,” said Ms. Smith.  “It’s a terrific opportunity for them to interact with a recording artist and learn firsthand what a career in music involves.”

FLINTface is a unique artist who blends a hybrid of Urban/ Pop & Rap to deliver a compelling message through lyrics that speak from the heart about personal struggles and hope.  His message is "Never give up, because you are never alone."  FLINTface is an independent artist currently supported & sponsored by Best Buy.  For more information about FLINTface, visit his website www.flintface.com.
