Students and Teachers Visit with Turnaround Artist DJ IZ Avila
“Students’ lessons at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School of the Arts Thursday featured scratching and blending – DJ techniques taught by their “Turnaround Artist” mentor, IZ Avila… His return to Seaside and Marina this week was met with cheers and applause from the students and marked his first visit to one of his “adopted” schools since before the pandemic.”
