Grammy-Nominated Longhorn Empowers Youth Through Music

Adam Neal, BS ’02, the three-time Grammy Award–nominated artist known as SaulPaul, pictured center, launched Dream Lab, an arts program that uses music production to empower young people as leaders. The initiative is part of Neal’s nonprofit SaulPaul Foundation, which focuses on mentorship for underserved youth while providing scholarships and job training for adults through the Skill Builders Career Academy. His other projects include the Music Career Expo, which offers students hands-on experience, and the bottled water company Change Water, which donates half its profits to the community.
