ABOUT US
Grounded Music Education (GME) is the programming and teaching focus from G Silva and Dana J, aka GND or Grounded DJs. Our focus is sharing our developed skillset built from our intense passions into the world of music and technology overall. As individuals, Gonzalo and Dana have both taken established paths of creativity and artistry, performing as producers and DJs across the country for the last 10+ years. Their shared interest in music creation and education connected them in Newark in the early 2010s, and has led to many collaborations over the years, with a plan to continue that work back home in Newark, NJ and beyond.
