He enjoys sharing his love of music with whoever he can. Semaj Pennix also started his own private School of Music, Studio Of Semaj (SOS Music LLC) in December of 2014. Today, he continues to equip students to realize their full musical potential and encourages them to produce this same level of dedication in other areas of their lives. His goal is to give people an outlet to express themselves and to brighten someone else’s day.  We are delighted to bring him on staff at Musically Creative for the Fall of 2021.
