Access to the Arts: Spotlight on Totem Star
Every young person who steps into the threshold of our studio at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center receives the same orientation: “Welcome to the family.” And we mean it. Totem Star is all about lifelong relationships with our young recording artists, many of whom we’ve now known for close to ten years and who are coming back to give back.
The Story With Wil-Dog Abers
Totem Star and ‘The Resistance Mixtape’
“What people need to understand about Totem Star is that, more than a record label, first and foremost we’re a family. Before you’re an artist you’re a human, and Totem Star teaches you how to do that. You can be an artist and not be a role model but Totem Star teaches you to be an artist and a role model.” - Monica
Totem Star and Daniel Pak offer music, education to youth
“Totem Star is more than a recording studio. It’s a safe space, an escape where kids who might normally find themselves in conflict because of the neighborhood in which they grew up or their social circles can sit together, learn and grow.” - Daniel Pak

Band of the Week: Kore Ionz
“Aloha is not just hello and goodbye, it’s a way of life. It’s how you treat people, how you take care of people unconditionally. And so, as an artist in Seattle, I pledge that with every bit of my life energy, I will continue to give more music to the world for the purpose of spreading more aloha and, as I sing in the song “First Avenue,” “reteaching the world to love.” - Daniel Pak
