Big Sean Gives a First Look at the Recording Studio He Built in His Detroit High School

Big Sean is a man with a mission. Like his Grammy-nominated 2015 song "One Man Can Change The World" insists, Sean Don is determined to make life better for Detroit's youth. Aside from working on his fourth studio album and chopping it up with the game's hottest producers, Sean is making time to support the next generation.

"Being a mentor, I see the importance of showing people their inner potential," explained the 27-year-old Motor City MC in a new profile for CNN. The Dark Sky Paradise rapper gave back in a big way recently, building a full recording studio in his old high school, Cass Technical High School. When the G.O.O.D Music star was profiled for his mentoring program, fans got a look inside the studio, co-sponsored by Adidas. The Sean Anderson Studio of Infinite Possibilities features a state-of-the-art producer's board and recording booth.

When he first announced the recording studio back in June of 2015, Sean reminisced on how important freedom of expression in the arts was to him growing up.

“I can’t believe I used to rap at the lunch tables, slang my CDs in the hallways, and fast forward less than 10 years later I’m opening up my own recording studio,” Sean said on Twitter. “This brings me tears of Joy!”

The rapper's Sean Anderson Foundation CNN profile finishes by saying there are many more projects lined up to help foster youth arts.

"I do carry the responsibility of the city no matter what. It made me who I am," concludes Sean.
