The Community

One person CAN make a difference...however big or small, there is an impact! The best feeling you will get is by helping another...I challenge you to try it :)

Throughout my life and career I’ve been dedicated to supporting a variety of charitable causes. I was the co-creator of Making Music, Making Change. This was a fabulous music & variety show event that ran for three consecutive years and it raised thousands of dollars, with all proceeds going to Phoenix Youth Programs (for at risk youth).

I also take great pride and enjoyment in being a mentor to up-and-coming artists. Music can be a difficult business to break into and I feel strongly that artists need to be there for each other to maintain a support system within this challenging industry. I’ve been a judge for Maritime Idol as well as a juror for FACTOR (The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings). I also try to encourage, give music business advice and showcase new talent (as I did in the Making Music, Making Change event) when possible.

I’ve added a unique charitable element to my current release, Non-Fiction! A portion of CD sales for my latest release, Non-Fiction, will be going the Red Cross (with the exception of some special events and performances, where an alternate charity may be selected on occasion).

I feel my music gift was given to me for a reason and the clarity of that has become more powerful as I have matured.  I have a great urge to make a difference in this world and I’d like to think that my music is the medium that will allow me to facilitate positive change.

Here are some additional charities that I’ve had the privilege of contributing my time too.

  • Cancer Society (various related cancer organisations within that cause, such as breast cancer, etc)
  • AIDS Coalition Foundation
  • Arthritis Society
  • Phoenix Youth Programs
  • Learning Disabilities of Nova Scotia
  • Foodbank of Nova Scotia
  • Children’s Wish Foundation
  • IWK Children’s Hospital

In summing up this section I would like to reflect on a movie from awhile back called “Pay It Forward”. I encourage you all to do that one thing, big or small, for someone else and request a “pay it forward”. Right now this world is in need of a lot of good deeds, wouldn’t it feel good to have started a chain of them! No one is watching, no one is keeping score, but do it anyway…you’ll know, and I promise you, that will be enough!
If it’s something exceptional that you think others would benefit from hearing about, why don’t you tell us about it.
