Music That Quite Literally Saves Lives

Just recently I was hired by Music Saves Lives. They are a non-profit organization that teaches the importance of volunteering and giving back via the use of the music industry. What my role in this is, is to be the representative for the east coast. I will be setting up special events attached to concerts as incentive to give back. Youth these days aren't interested in boring lectures on how they can plant a community garden. They are out there at these shows wanting to meet their favorite band. So if we give them the opportunity to do that by having them volunteer, I'd say that is a win win. 

Would The Real Musicians Please Stand Up.

As I sit in my cousin's living room listening to a live recording of Elton John, from a recording studio in New York where he played for around 125 people, I'm in complete awe. My cousin explains to me that he in fact attended this show at the age of 18. As the incredible notes to "Sixty Years On" fill my ears and my mind with pure musical bliss I realize that this no longer happens with today's artists. There are so few times where I am completely taken aback by music.

What is Music?

             This blog will be focusing on bringing back the roots of music to the music industry. The music industry has turned its focus from appreciating true talent to how quickly can we make money off the talent. My blog is geared towards musicians of any genre or level and to anyone who truly appreciates music for what it is, a beautiful portrayal of the human mind in art form. My goal is to become a music manager and to open my own record label. This label will ideally focus solely on the artists not on how quickly I can make a dollar. Musicians, in my opinion, have such an amazing gift and with that gift they are able to reach and stimulate the minds of their audience. Together I believe we can bring back the roots of music.
