TOGETHER WE ARE COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING FUTURE ARTISTS & CREATORS
Roland Lifestyle and
1500 Sound Academy joined forces to auction off a one-of-one 808 BMX
Bike to celebrate 808 Day 2023. The 808 BMX Bike celebrates the impact of the Roland TR-808 drum
machine on music over the past four plus decades. Proceeds from the auction helped fund a
scholarship for an inspiring artist to attend the on-campus Music & Industry Fundamentals Program
at 1500 Sound Academy. “I believe music is a ladder for the soul to reach the highest realms and
to participate in an initiative to help a student gain access to one of the best music schools in
the world is an honor,” said Nathan Chandra Founder and Creative Director of Roland Lifestyle. The
auction winner was David Frangioni, a long time musician and music advocate.
