The program grew out of a partnership HCC formed with Belmont University's Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business in Nashville, according to Ramsey Pedersen, HCC chancellor.
"We're in the 21st century where technology can bring our music to the global stage," Pedersen said in a news release. "There needs to be a bridge that will give Hawaii's raw talent the equipment, skills and opportunities to bring them to the next level, and that is MELE," he said.
