How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?

This exposure would surely place us in the public eye, and present our music to a wonderful demographic. However, we feel that we have something strong and positive to offer to those who see and hear us perform our original music. Many young people have doubts about the prospect of aging and what it holds. However, we are even more creative and enthusisastice than we were in our younger years, so the message we send is to take care of yourself. The best life has to offer is yet to come!


What would you do with $50,000?

9 years ago my life's partner and I purchased a piece of property with 2 distressed buildings. We have restored the house, and habitat & ecology on the property, but the building for our recording studio lays fallow for lack of funds. That building restoration including the creation of the studio would be the best use of the award money should it be granted to us.
