Hi, I’m Wilfredo “Willy” Gonzalez

I’m the founder of The Youth Sound Project, a dream I’m bringing to life in Las Vegas.

For years, I’ve met incredible young people with amazing voices and creative energy — but no access to studios or mentors who could help them reach their potential. Recording sessions can cost hundreds of dollars, and for many families, that’s just not possible.

That’s why I’m building The Youth Sound Project — a free after-school recording and creative arts studio that gives kids a safe place to express themselves, learn industry skills, and stay off the streets.

Our Mission

To empower youth through music, mentorship, and opportunity.

We’re not just creating a studio — we’re creating a movement.

Our space will include:

A professional recording studio with top-of-the-line gear

Vocal lessons and beat production classes taught by local artists

A photography and live video room for content creation

Internships for high school and college students in audio, video, and media production

Every part of this project is designed to help youth turn their creativity into a career path — and their dreams into reality.

❤️ Why This Matters

Las Vegas is filled with creative talent, but many kids don’t have access to programs that nurture it. The Youth Sound Project will:

Provide a safe, inspiring space after school

Teach music and media skills that can become real careers

Build confidence and community for kids who need it most

This program will change lives — giving youth purpose, mentorship, and a creative outlet to stay focused and positive.

From Me to You

I’ve dedicated my life to learning, working, and growing in the tech and creative fields. Now, I want to give that same opportunity to the next generation — the kids who just need someone to believe in them.

Your support means the world. Together, we can build something that lasts — a safe, creative home for Las Vegas youth to dream, create, and become the artists of tomorrow.

Thank you for being part of this vision.
