Berklee's Two Track music video series features members of the Berklee community in a stripped-down recording session, filmed in continuous camera shots with just a single microphone. Since the series launched in September, videos have premiered every Wednesday evening at 8:00 p.m. ET on the Berklee YouTube channel.
Each installment of Two Track revolves around a single theme that the artist engages with through their choice of songs and/or through a short storytelling segment recorded as part of the session. For the month of June, performers were asked to address the theme of pride.
Boston Conservatory Performers from Rent June opened with the release of an ensemble performance-a first for the Two Track series-by cast members from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee's staging of Rent, which ran from April 7-10 as part of the spring 2022 Center Stage collection. Jordan Hall and Steven Eckloff are featured vocalists on I'll Cover You, while Amber Talley and Morgan Kyle sing a rendition of Take Me or Leave Me, both written by Jonathan Larson for his culturally groundbreaking musical. Jonathan Goldberg (guitar) and Ben Laham (keys) accompany cast members on each track.

Tyler Christian Tyler Christian performed Ariana Grande's I Don't Care and an original song, Never See Me, for their June 8 session. Christian is a 21-year-old performer, singer-songwriter, and vocal arranger from just outside Atlanta, Georgia. Christian's music draws inspiration from an eclectic mix of modern and classic styles, from Beyonc and Fleetwood Mac to Nirvana and James Taylor. Their inventive melodies, which borrow from jazz, pop, and soul, represent a fresh take on nostalgic ideas. In a brief monologue between songs, Christian touches on pride as it relates to their struggle growing up in Atlanta to balance who they were and who others wanted them to be.
