The Apopka Serves Foundation is proud to announce the presentation of a prestigious Cultural Wellness scholarship to local rock band, DRIVEN, as part of their mission to advance young entrepreneurs and cultural wellness through the arts. This scholarship was made possible through Jerry Harvey Audio (JH Audio), and awarded to DRIVEN, the ultimate teen rock band. The band is composed of Jaynee Phelps on lead vocals and rhythm guitar (Apopka), Kiersten Garretson on drums (Deland), Shoncea Rivera on bass guitar and backup vocals (Sanford), and Jake Nichols on lead guitar and backup vocals (Davenport). These four talented youth musicians have impressed audiences with their electrifying performances.
The Apopka Serves Foundation is proud to collaborate with JH Audio to make this possible. DRIVEN band members met with the JH Audio team at their Orlando headquarters for in-ear impressions, product demos, and a tour of the production facilities. Founder Jerry Harvey is known in the music industry for the invention of in-ear monitors (IEMs). In the mid-1990s, Jerry Harvey was a sound engineer for Van Halen before establishing Ultimate Ears. In 2007, JH Audio was born. Handcrafted in the United States using cutting edge technology, JH Audio in-ear monitors are used by the world’s biggest touring artists. With superior innovation and audio performance at the forefront of what JH Audio aims to deliver, the company prides itself on sustaining a level of customer service that is beyond reproach.
