MEXICO CITY (MAY 23, 2025) – The Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation®, in partnership with Berklee Global, hosted the second Emerging Talent Intensive Program, marking its international debut, at Rec Música in Mexico City. The immersive learning experience, presented by TikTok, took place over two days guiding 100 aspiring music creators through workshops focused on production, the essentials of songwriting including lyric and harmony analysis, song structure, stage performance and marketing music from conception to completion.

The curriculum was led by Berklee College of Music’s faculty professor Enrique González Müller and vocalist and educator, Kaimy Masse, alongside instructors from Rec Música including producer, arranger and pianist José Miguel Quijano Toledo, and producer and Jazz bassist Juan Carlos Sardaneta Cesari. Additionally, Latin music industry leaders joined the program, including Latin GRAMMY®-winning composer Mónica Vélez and Latin GRAMMY nominees Horacio Palencia, León Leiden and Paty Cantú, who also served as an official sponsor, as did Fiesta Americana and Kaiser.

"Berklee Global, the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation, and Rec Música have collaborated to create a program designed to equip today’s musicians with integrated skills across songwriting, production, performance and music business—all essential areas in the contemporary music industry,” said González Müller. “Educators from Berklee and Rec Música worked closely to develop custom, symbiotic teaching content with a focus on highlighting and engaging local Mexican artists’ music. The program—made possible through the generous support of TikTok—exemplifies music education excellence, uplifts local culture, and fosters ongoing collaboration within a transformative global network."

"For TikTok, music is part of our DNA," said Laura Reyna, Public Policy Manager for Latin America. "We have proudly taken our musical passion to concrete actions that have revolutionized music. Today, we are not only an ally of established artists, we are a catalyst for new talent and have established extraordinary partnerships with institutions such as The Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. Intensive programs like this help us continue to democratize the industry, remove barriers and professionalize those who have something to tell the world with their voice, an instrument and a melody that we will never forget."

"We are grateful to our partners for their support in bringing the second Emerging Talent Intensive Program to Mexico, marking its international debut thanks to the generous support of TikTok, Fiesta Americana, Kaiser and Paty Cantú," said Raquel “Rocky” Egusquiza, Executive Director of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. "Together, we are empowering communities through Latin music and culture. "

The Emerging Talent Intensive Program was launched earlier this year, and creates engaging, accessible experiences for aspiring performing artists. The program offers students the opportunity to participate in hands-on training through classes and jam sessions based on the broad and dynamic curriculum offered by Berklee College of Music professors and Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation guest panelists.
