Change the World One Song at a Time

Subversive music foundation logo

The  Subvers!ve Music Foundation was established in honor of Harrison James Dunnett (aka Subvers!ve), a Bay Area-based singer, songwriter, rapper, and producer who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 20 on December 31st, 2016.

Devastated by the loss of their son and sibling, Harrison’s family founded the Subvers!ve Music Foundation both to honor his memory and to promote the positive power of music. The foundation is headquartered in Marin County and offers week-long summer music camps to youth with hopes to expand to full-year music scholarships nationally.

In its pilot year (2017), the foundation provided its first scholarship for two weeks at the Los Angeles College of Music where Harrison had planned to attend. Building on the positive response we received from our participant and partners of the program, we sent students to LACM again in 2018 and 2019 and we are now accepting application for over a dozen 2020 summer scholarships.
