It’s always nice to hear about someone doing a good deed. Case in point with New York-based band (and favorite of Jaleel Bunton from TV on The Radio), Chin Chin. The band stepped in to help two high school graduating students from Liberation Diploma Plus in Coney Island create original music for their graduation ceremony. The students wrote the lyrics, and Chin Chin created the tunes to go along. The song will serve as a graduation anthem for tomorrow’s ceremony, with faculty, students, and their families receiving copies of the track.

I spoke with Quindell Willis, the band’s manager—a.k.a. “The Mighty Quin”—about how this unique deed came to fruition,. “I’m an old friend of the school’s principal and found out about these two kids who wanted to write a song. So I asked the guys in the band if they wanted to help, and their answer was an immediate, ‘Yes, we’ll do it!’ The kids came into Chin Chin’s studio and recorded the song.” Apparently the students were pros. “When they arrived into the studio, they were really focused—to the point where they came in and did their vocals faster and in quicker takes than most artists!”

Quin also told me there are only a few high schools like this in the country—it’s considered a new and “at risk” school with only few graduating classes thus far. Wilder Zoby, lead singer of Chin Chin, will be performing the song alongside the two cousins tomorrow as part of the ceremony. I think this graduation will be quite a memorable one.
