In addition to working with superstar artists, he has worked on movie soundtracks including the Spiderman and Fast and the Furious franchises. RushDee is multi-skilled - he's a musician, he writes, makes beats, and also manages other musicians. As a sound engineer, Gant, a Flint native, has worked with musicians like Juvenile, Meek Mill, Wale, and Justine Skye. Performers are only a small part of career opportunities available in music, and Gant and RushDee are both great examples of other ways to break into the business. The Antidote Studio helps them expand their imagination, though. Many kids grow up dreaming of being star musicians. “The quicker they can get access to resources, the quicker we can open their minds to new ideas and opportunities that are out there.” “It’s really important for kids, especially really in that 10-17 age group, to discover these resources and technology and what we provide,” said Nygee Gant, lead engineer at The Antidote Studio. During a visit this week, RushDee talked with students about the importance of understanding how vital it is that they have access to a space that includes recording and editing equipment and software, lighting supplies, musical instruments, and other tools designed to teach them about the many career paths available in music. That’s where the Antidote Studio comes in. “It was in me when I was your age, and I didn’t even know it yet,” RushDee said. RushDee, a Billboard-charting producer who has worked with performers like Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Ice Cube, Nipsey Hussle, Meek Mill, and more, couldn’t really pinpoint the exact moment.
