Goals

  • To create a slammin' interactive website with loads of positive music
  • To rally artists against violent, sex-drenched lyrics in their music
  • To create an outdoor concert in Miami that promotes positive music

Overview

Music Rocks Ya Soul is an interactive positive music campaign dedicated to the fight against misogyny and violence in popular music (hip hop, reggae, rock and r&b) while promoting dialogue, social action, eclectic music appreciation/creation within S. Florida and in communities around the world. We want to 1) to rally/highlight local artists and activists who are championing a fight against senseless, profane, sex-drenched lyrics in popular music targeting youth, and 2) to inform an audience of urban youth captivated by negative music about healthy alternative forms and activate them to join the campaign. 

Deliverables:
A hot, interactive website with dynamic tools to highlight fab artists who fit the positive music standardA mobile phone application with similar functionality as the websiteA summer concert with mainstream acts alongside great, local positive music talent (3,000 people)Three major corporate sponsors for our efforts5 press outlets to cover our campaign 

How will the 25K be Used?

Budget Notes: Our budget takes into account the expenses to build and market our website and mobile application. In addition, the summer concert event is also something that the budget supports. However, this budget does not cover costs for event hospitality or performances fees for booking mainstream acts.
