LIHSA Student Lars Sorenson Performs with DMC

The event featured DMC speaking about his children’s book, comic book, and to give insights into his life and experiences as a youth. He shared insights into the evolution of hip-hop, about his work with Aerosmith, and his induction into the Music Hall of Fame. He additionally emphasized kids’ responsibility to the world.

Lars is a sophomore, studying music at LIHSA and plays drums for Deez Guyzz. They performed It’s Tricky, King of Rock, and Walk This Way with DMC. They also played one original and two cover songs.

Asked about the experience of performing with DMC, Lars shared, “It was pretty fun.  A lot of prepping and practicing, but the show was really fun.”
