WHAT IS IT?
The BeYOUnique Project
Those who believe in expression through arts and creativity will always find their way through the darkest of days. Those who devote their lives to art and music, create a world of happiness for those who can't find their smile. Being an artist and a musician, I've manifested all of my power and passion into creating a life full of harmony for myself, those around me, and those all over the world who listen to my music. What would the world be without our "Jam", our favorite song, the poetic lyrics of our favorite artists, and the anthems that represent our lives?
That's a question we couldn't bear to see the answer to. As our Arts programs in schools all over the United States slowly disappear, it becomes difficult for young, aspiring talent to find their path to achieving their dreams. The music industry has no set direction, or steps to take, that will guarantee success. To top it all off; training, merchandising, studying, performing, and especially recording - could create a tremendous financial burden on a family and cost more then a college tuition or mortgage.
The Donations for Daddy Foundation's "BeYOUnique Project" was created to give a helping hand in the start of a possible career for a young artist. Veronica Kole, of Donations for Daddy, and Ryan Barber, of the Barbershop Studios, have created the idea for the opportunity of a lifetime. Middle and High School students interested in the arts (musicians, singers, engineers, DJ, etc) will be hand selected and brought into a world class, state of the art recording studio (The BarberShop) to record their own original project. Through the project they will be mentored/coached musically by some of the greatest musicians, learn about the industry and the art form of recording, and given an industry standard final product to start showing to their supporters. At the end of the project, they will perform their first headlining show, with their new song, at their Winter/Spring school concert in front of all their peers! They will also be given opportunity to perform for established artists on our "BeYOUtiful Tour". Most of all, this program empowers our youth to find who they are, to be themselves, and to follow their dreams. All you need is one shot, one opportunity, one platform; it's up to "YOU" to rock that stage.
