From talented vocalists to expressive dancers and spoken-word artists, participants at GYMPAC testify to the confidence, skills, and sense of purpose they’ve gained through the platform. “Being on that stage changed everything for me,” credits Shirley B, the 2025 champion. “It wasn’t just about winning—it was about realizing I can channel my passion and voice it proudly.” Her words echo the sentiments of many who view GYMPAC as a launching pad into a world of ambition and self-belief.

The support surrounding the event is a major component of its success. Behind the bright lights are years of mentorship from the Frugal Music Academy (FMA), guidance from industry coaches, and encouragement from the local community, sponsors, and Greenwich Council. For rising stars like Lucia, Ero, and Brado, this backing has been instrumental in refining their craft and propelling their careers forward beyond the stage.

Beyond performance, GYMPAC plants seeds of life-changing aspirations. It encourages students to develop stage presence, lyrical storytelling, and professionalism—skills that extend into academic and vocational paths. As organizer Mr. Frugal notes, “Support and structure give our youth real tools to succeed, far beyond applause. That is our mission.”

With a burning call to “Empower, Promote, Thrive,” GYMPAC continues to serve as a model for community-driven youth development.
