The mission of the Alaska Teen Media Institute is to provide teens with the tools and training needed to produce stories and with the opportunity for their stories - told in their own voices - to be shared through a variety of media. ATMI believes the teen perspective is valuable and under-represented. The Alaska Teen Media Institute is a program under the umbrella of Spirit of Youth, 501 (c)(3).

Nick Carpenter has been making music in Alaska under the name Medium Build since 2016. Drawing inspiration from 80s country music and 90s RnB, Medium Build’s songs convey intimate stories drawn from Carpenter’s personal experiences.
Earlier this summer, Medium Build signed a major label contract with Islands Records. This fall they head out on tour in the lower 48, then it’s off to Europe.
ATMI producer Maria Koop sat down with Carpenter in our studio for an extended conversation about his music. He talks about what the major label signing means for the future of the band, the impact his religious upbringing has on his songs, and much more.
Hosted by Kendrick Whiteman.
Music by Kendrick Whiteman and Devin Shreckengost.
Alaska Teen Media Institute is based in Anchorage, Alaska. We would like to acknowledge the Dena’ina people, whose land we work on.
