Our programming includes music-based accessibility initiatives, mobile recording outreach, and emerging technologies such as ImmersiVest, a sensory-feedback vest that enables individuals to experience music and sound in therapeutic and inclusive ways.

 

Overview
 

ImmersiBeats is a multi-round DJ competition hosted by Bill Carroll, combining online submissions, public voting, and wrapping it up with a live semifinal and final event with crowd-voting and judges. The competition is a family-friendly, community-focused fundraising event presented by the Bill Carroll Foundation with grand prizes from Pioneer Pro DJ, Mixologist/DJ Bill Carroll, and more!

 

ImmersiBeats raises funds to support the Foundation’s mission of educating, empowering, and guiding musicians and DJ's—including individuals with disabilities and veterans—while creating a platform for these competing DJs of all skill levels to showcase their talent publicly.

 

All registered DJ's will have an opportunity in experiencing one or more of our programs specifically designed for DJ's including, DJ classes, being a DJ on our internet-based radio station, being represented by our Record Label which includes management and a shot at being on a terrestrial radio station on a special mix show called Bill Carroll's Saturday Night Dance Party on B101.5 FM.
