Musicians: Get Involved

Mungo Jerry
Why Should YOU as a musician, get involved with helping out the planet? 

Music is a form of art that has no boundaries, and artists who create it have enormous power to influence and inspire people globally. At the same time, environmental charities are organizations that work to protect and conserve natural resources, endangered species, and ecosystems all around the world. Let's elaborate on why musicians should get involved in environmental charities. Firstly, musicians have a massive audience base that can be utilized to raise awareness about environmental issues. Secondly, musicians have the ability to convey powerful messages and emotions through their music, which can influence audiences to take action against environmental problems. Thirdly, music can be used as a means to fundraise for environmental charities, and this can be very beneficial for such organizations.

Musicians have a huge fan base that can be used to raise awareness about environmental issues. Fans follow their favorite musicians on social media platforms, concerts, and events. Musicians can use these platforms to share information about environmental issues such as global warming, climate change, and deforestation. By sharing links, articles, and spread awareness using these platforms, musicians can create an impact among their followers. Musicians have the ability to get their fans to care about the environment since fans look up to these artists, and they trust their opinions. By involving themselves in environmental charities, musicians can draw the attention of their massive audience to environmental issues.

Musicians have the ability to convey powerful messages and emotions through their music, which can influence audiences to take action against environmental problems. Music is an essential tool for conveying messages and emotions. Musicians can use music to create awareness about environmental issues and inspire their fans to take action. For example, a musician can create a music video that shows the effects of pollution on the environment. Using a catchy tune and meaningful lyrics, musicians can produce a song that resonates with people and motivates them to think about their actions and take steps to reduce their carbon footprint.

Music can be used as a means to fundraise for environmental charities. Musicians have the ability to produce music that people can buy to support environmental charities. For example, artists such as Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews Band, and Jason Mraz have used their music and concerts to raise awareness and funds for environmental charities. Other musicians can follow suit by hosting concerts, creating merchandise that promotes environmental awareness, and donating money from their album sales to environmental charities. Funds from these events can be used to support research, organize rallies, and spread awareness about environmental issues that require attention.

Musicians can create partnerships with environmental charities to support their causes. By partnering with environmental charities, musicians can amplify their message and spread awareness even further. These partnerships present an opportunity for musicians to collaborate with environmental charities on fundraising efforts, creating educational content, and hosting awareness events. For example, The Foo Fighters partnered with Rock the Vote to encourage their fans to vote and become politically in
volved in environmental issues. Such partnerships are beneficial as they help increase awareness and amplify the message the musicians try to get across.

Environmental charities and musicians can collaborate together to spread awareness about environmental issues and create change. By joining forces, environmental charities and musicians can host events, rallies, and concerts, all of which would have a significant impact on creating awareness around environmental issues. For instance, environmental charities can host events where musicians can perform, and the proceedings raised can go to support the charity's mission. This type of partnership not only supports the environmental charity but also gives musicians an opportunity to use their platform to raise awareness.

Musicians can use their influence to raise awareness about specific environmental issues that require attention. Musicians can choose to focus on one of the many environmental problems that require attention, such as deforestation, water pollution, and climate change. With this initiative, they can amplify the message and raise awareness of these issues, which will draw attention to the root cause and encourage people to take appropriate action. This way, musicians can effectively target a specific issue, communicate with their fans, and work towards promoting more sustainable lifestyles.
Musicians can encourage their fans to make small changes in their daily lives that have a significant impact on the environment. They can use their platforms to promote sustainable activities such as recycling, public transport, and reducing the use of single-use plastics. By normalizing sustainable lifestyles, those efforts encourage fans to take small steps towards making changes that can benefit the environment. Musicians can create distinct campaigns that promote different sustainable changes, such as touring using carbon-neutral methods.

Musicians can support the use of eco-friendly products through endorsing and partnering with companies that produce sustainable merchandise, such as clothing made from organic cotton or accessories made from recycled materials. They can also use their influence to advocate for policies that support environmental protection and conservation. By using their platform to promote eco-friendly practices, musicians can inspire their fans to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle and contribute to a healthier planet.

So, if you have decided you'd like to help, then get in touch with us at Minds Behind the Music. We're actively looking for musicians to release "singles" in aid of Greenpeace and various other environmental and animal charities. All the chosen releases go MAINSTREAM and are released on every single platform world-wide and we will press release and promote every single at our cost. Simple.

Who Are the DHP?


The DHP is a husband and wife duo from Kansas City Missouri.

I'll start by telling you that we are a team but I am the writer. Cheryl, my wife gets the pleasure of being woken up at 2 am bc I feel I have come up with something cool and she actually listens. Cheryl is the one I trust to put her voice, her style, musicianship, her mark into the sound that we call the DHP.

A fifth Album is ready to go called "Vibe Mutha Vibe". It is a 10 song release and should be released soon on May 1st, 2022. I am sending "October", The song about a woman who will no longer stand for the abusive relationship she is in and feels empowered to leave.

Oh and lyrically I write about life, the good, the bad and the ugly. I write the story of everyone I know, everyone I meet and some I miss. I write about the sex, the drugs and the mental issues we all have at times. My stories can be viewed differently by each person who listens and that it touches.

Who has influenced me?

I am influenced by every sound that has ever passed by. I could say, Queen, the Doors, The Weekend, Poison, STYX, Justin Timberlake, Adel, The Muse, 21 Pilots, The Black Keys, and George Winston,,, or I could say, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The BeeGees, NIN, Eminem, Faith No More, Pink Floyd, Chris Cornell, Katy Perry, Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Taylor Swift, and Imagine Dragons. As I said, everyone mainstream and every indie band and every sound that I have ever heard has influenced me!

Specky Cult

SPECKY CULT “SONGS FROM THE MUSICAL”

You probably get a thousand of these a week and everyone of them is the next big thing.

To be fair we weren’t even sure about releasing the tunes on an album in this form.

Let me explain, Specky Cult aren’t a real band, it’s the fictional band from the musical we wrote. After all what is a “real “band anyway.

Yup, it’s meta or pompous you chose.

Its 4 people going down to London to do their big break gig and what goes wrong and then right and then… well that would be spoilers.

We are recording actors playing the parts and we are then inserting the songs to create a pod cast of the show. We are creating two, both an hour long.

We intend to release these recordings as podcasts and as cd’s once they are complete.

This will hopefully be an introduction to our project. We can then develop this into a live stage show or as someone was recently helping us with, make them in to 4 half hour tv shows.

The real reason we are releasing the music first is in truth a covid related desire to get out of the house and do something creative as soon as possible.

We hope you like the music, it will make more sense in context with the show.

We can send you the full pod cast show when its finished as well if you like.

We hope this has pricked your interest to either want to know more, to interview us so we can elaborate on our crazy plans or to want to review the album or just listen to songs and judge yourself.

SPECKY CULT will return in “SPECKY CULT must die”....
