Join OutKast's Andre 3000 at the CLASS OF 3000!
Sunny Bridges left his hometown of Atlanta to pursue a career in music 10 years ago. Since then, he has won a total of 27 Grammy Awards and a Nobel Peace Prize and has sold out concerts all over the world. But despite the fame, Sunny is left feeling like something is missing. Eventually, it just becomes too much for Sunny, and he unexpectedly steps out of the spotlight, literally, and returns to his hometown for some quiet reflection. There, he steps into the lives of a diverse group of kids as their music teacher in an attempt to get back to his roots and reconnect with what he loves most about music. Naturally, Sunny is reluctant about being a music teacher at his alma mater until he sees the kids' passion for music, something he used to see in himself.
In addition to serving as co-creator and co-executive producer, Andre "3000" Benjamin provides his voice to the character of Sunny Bridges. Benjamin will also contribute an original song to every episode, each accompanied by a music video directed by some of the most respected art directors in the industry, including Alan Bodner (Iron Giant); Overton Lloyd, known for his work on album covers for Parliament; and Peter Chung (Æon Flux).
Class of 3000 is produced by Cartoon Network Studios in association with the Tom Lynch Co. and Benjamin's production company, Moxie. Thomas W. Lynch and André "3000" Benjamin are co-creators/ executive producers of Class of 3000. The show's co-executive producer and head writer is Patric M. Verrone, a writer for Futurama, The Critic and Pinky and the Brain and a supervising producer on Futurama. Joe Horne (The Boondocks, Teamo Supremo, The Oblongs) serves as supervising producer.
