Workshop: The Importance of Growing an Incubator

Cleveland Rocks: PPF’s Professional Development Workshops focus on a different music-related topic including music technology, business, networking, and professional development. We invite guest speakers and panelists to lead these workshops, as well as offer demos and interactive experiences to attendees.

About the Speaker: Robin "Hyperius" Blake is a multi-instrumentalist, arranger, composer, and producer. Robin, along with this band Black Voltron, are one of Cleveland Rocks:PPF's 2025 Music Incubator artists. Black Voltron won Cleveland Scene's 2025 Best Hip Hop Group Award and was most recently the headliner of Mx. Juneteenth at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They are currently working on their first full-length studio album. In 2025, Robin won the Cleveland Arts Prize Verge Fellowship award. Robin is also the founder of the festival Creation: A Celebration of Art, Music, and Life, and cultivates shows in Cleveland's DIY scene, seeking to increase accessibility to live art experiences for all.

This event is made possible with support from Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and the Ohio Arts Council.
