Founded in 2021 by the creative duo of Maya Holliday and Derek Walton, School Of The Gifted Productions is a multimedia production company and creative house specializing in social media content and music production. Birthed as a necessity to house their growing creative catalogue, “SOTG Pro” has grown into a full service production company to collaborate with other artists, entrepreneurs and humans with visions.

Derek and Maya met as Vocal Majors at The Philadelphia High School for The Creative and Performing Arts. In 2013, at the age of 17, Derek released his first project, launching the two best friends into the process of Independent music making and the art of street marketing from the ground up. Furthering their education together in New York City, they attended The American Musical and Dramatic Academy with Maya studying Acting and Derek, Musical Theater.

Together, with the support of their community, they entered the Entertainment Industry with the willingness to learn and a bright flame of passion burning inside of them. Sensing a pivot and combining Maya’s experience in marketing, and Derek’s success as an independent musician, they maximized their skillsets in the content production space. Their lessons and wins have led them to forge their own way and believe wholeheartedly in their vision: An ethical and equitable Industry rooted in a love of expression and the desire to effect the world for the better.
