News of the Ukrainian war really hit hard because of my personal connection with a Ukrainian musician on my new “Don’t let them get U down” album. After my daughter EDEN composed music for “Mystic Spirit,” one of the songs on my new album, I wrote lyrics; went into the studio, and laid down lead and background vocals. Then I sent everything to a talented Ukrainian celloist named Polina and she played a hauntingly beautiful arrangement. I can only imagine how terrifying it is to live in Ukraine, and other war zones waking up to bombs. As an artist and activist dedicated to waging peace and love, I will continue to use my art to raise awareness about and assistance to those suffering.
We live in a global society. What happens thousands of miles away, affects us in our country; in our homes. Many will feel the impact of war at the gas pump, where prices are soaring. Others will worry about family members in the military stationed in Europe. Then there’s the possibility of unimaginable nuclear warfare killing millions of people around the world. That’s why I support organizations like Nuclear Age Peace Foundation that work up front and behind the scenes. Like my song “Build a New World” says” “Earth can be paradise, or it can be hell. People over profits; protests groundswell. We gotta build a new world for our boys and girls…”
