Hello! My name is Ava Claire, and I am the Chief Operating Officer (COO) for Tunes for Kidz.

Luka Hernandez Palmer
Home Base Team
Hey! My name is Luka Hernandez Palmer and I am the Outreach Coordinator for Tunes For Kidz. I'm 17 years old and currently a senior at Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, TN. I'm originally from San Luis Potosí, México, but moved to the states at a very young age. My music journey began at about 8 years old when I started playing the drums. I went through a few more instruments like the piano and guitar, but in 6th grade when I got my hands on a cello, I knew I would stick with it for a while. Ever since then, music has undoubtedly been one of the most important things in my life. Because of the impact it has had on me, it’s hard to imagine living without it, which is why I’m so grateful to work with an organization like Tunes For Kidz!

Hi! I’m Sofia Medenica and I am the Media Manager for Tunes for Kidz. I am a freshman at Belmont University with a Music Business major and Dance minor. Although I do not play any instruments, I enjoy singing in my free time and songwriting when I get the chance.

Music has impacted my life in such a strong way that I can’t help but enjoy watching how it can impact everyone else positively as well.
