One thing we tried to do last year (and will definitely continue) is to find charitable causes to support with our music...this shot was taken at the debut show for @raisingfromtheashes, an organization dedicated to suicide prevention and mental health awareness...music truly can make a difference, and we look forward to continuing to explore these types of opportunities! 🖤 • • • ...and speaking of live music, we’re playing a 5:30pm set at The Harp in Ocean Beach, CA this Saturday, Jan 12th as part of @springboardfest ...50 artists across 5 stages...tix at: springboardwest.com - don’t miss it! • • • #Music #LiveMusic #IndieMusic #IndieBand #IndieLife #MusicForGood #MusicCanDoMore #GoodCauses #AllTheFeels #SanDiego #OceanBeach #SpringboardWest #SBW2019 #MusicMakesMemories (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbLnOsAaxK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w888mijnwxxd

This video is just a small preview introducing you to a very good cause. Please do read the entire caption to know more about it and to find the entire video. ----------------------------------------------- When @handlingthehandle approached me asking me to produce a hip hop beat for this video he wanted to make, I was skeptical because I had never worked with a hip hop artist before. But when he told me what the video was for, I felt like it was my duty to use my ability in music to help stand for this timely initiative. So while I do hope you enjoy this short musical production that we made together, I do hope you will read the message below and do your part. ----------------------------------------------- Most of you are probably well aware of the devastating floods in Assam and the impact it has had on the lives of people there. While some of you are socially involved and would like to donate financial aid towards rehabilitation and restoration causes, there is no guarantee that the donation you make is actually being used to make a difference. My dear friend @handlingthehandle has worked with his team including @suraj_saikia1108 @nivanrajsharma @its_riddhz @anushkaatalaga in collaboration with certain NGOs to bring this amazing initiative to you. I stand with them, in support of the people of Assam, knowing full well that this is a genuine cause because of how personally connected this team is to the issue at hand. To know more about the good work they are doing, and to donate to their cause, simply check out @assameselivesmatter. Kudos to @_devil_shourya_ for this professional video editing. ----------------------------------------------- #assam #assameselivesmatter #donate #goodcause #musicforgood #hiphop #rap #assamfloods (at Assam) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC-tD1Cggq8/?igshid=363ohlf5pto6

Give a Beat Celebrates International Youth Day With Multiple DJ Events Across the Country

In honor of the United Nation’s declared International Youth Day, Give a Beat is connecting DJs and music promoters across the country with a series of dance music events

By the Give a Beat Social Media Team

In partnership with DJs and promoters in the U.S., Give a Beat’s International Youth Day events are raising awareness and funds for its programs by engaging the dance music community in helping families impacted by mass incarceration and giving youth in America a voice. From August 10 to August 13, 2017, music promoters across the United States will honor the United Nation’s declared International Youth Day (August 12) with a series of dance music events spanning from Detroit to Los Angeles. The events will raise money and awareness for Give a Beat’s music, mentoring and re-entry programs which bridge the dance music community with youth and families impacted by mass incarceration. 

In addition to raising funds for Give a Beat’s innovative programs, a major educational initiative will be implemented so that attendees can learn about the myriad ways in which the mass incarceration epidemic is negatively affecting youth, and how to get involved and push for positive change. This is an ongoing nationwide effort by Give a Beat to raise awareness and educate dance music fans and the public at large about the plight of youth in marginalized American communities.

Here in Southern California, long time Give a Beat collaborator Ben Annand will once again throw the anchor event –  which single-handedly brought in over $5,000 in funds last year. Annand has been throwing his beloved Tropical Events since 1998; the Tropical Boat Party since 2004. On August 12th, LA's original house music boat party will sail out of Long Beach Harbor, featuring sets by Annand, DJ Three, Doc Martin, Marques Wyatt, Patricio, and Jamie Schwabl.

“I grew up in an area plagued by gang violence, but I’m fortunate to have loving teacher/musicians as parents. Not everyone is so lucky. Give a Beat is the perfect partner for Tropical because we are able to focus on making a great dance party, while they put the money we raise toward after-school programs for underprivileged youth. Full circle, we are all connected!” says Tropical’s Annand.

Background on the Issues:

The deleterious effects of mass incarceration are particularly difficult for American youth in marginalized communities. Currently, 2.7 million children (minors under 18) in the United States have an incarcerated parent. In addition, the United States is the world leader in incarcerating youth, spending $6 billion per year on juvenile corrections. On any given day, there are over 70,000 juveniles in custody in the U.S.  Furthermore, the U.S. is the only industrialized nation in the world that puts minors into solitary confinement, tries them as adults, imposes life sentences without parole, and sends juveniles to adult prisons at a stunning average cost of $80K a year, more than a Harvard education. And perhaps most disturbing, 1 in 3 African American youth will be in prison during their lifetime. “There are so many people locked up in the U.S. right now: women, teens - most who have already been victimized, and are now separated from family.  Our for-profit prison system has been able to grow unabatedly for 45 years. It’s a machine, making it very difficult to intervene and correct, but there is still a lot we can do. For one, we can just be there for people who've been through it by receiving them when they get out. This alone can make a world of difference.” says Lauren Segal.

Give a Beat’s Programs:

In addition to the development of its unique mentoring program that connects previously incarcerated young people (ages 16 to 24) with mentors from the music community to help guide them toward a creative music-driven career and away from imprisonment forever, Give a Beat has other programs that use the power of music to heal from trauma caused by the impact of mass incarceration on at-risk communities. Since its founding, Give a Beat has held numerous DJ workshops for youth in collaboration with several organizations including A Place Called Home, Arts for Incarcerated Youth, and Girls Rock Detroit and is working on expanding this successful program across the country. In December of 2016, Give a Beat’s social justice work and youth mentoring programs was featured in the PBS special, “The American Spirit with Mary Parks of CBS.”

Background on International Youth Day:

August 12th is the UN declared International Youth Day, which “aims to remind the public of the importance of youth as a stage in life and is celebrated all over the world.” On this date each year, the UN recognizes efforts of the world’s youth in enhancing global society and also promotes ways to engage youth to get more involved in making positive contributions to their communities. Give a Beat, in partnership with promoters, is hoping to raise awareness about how youth are being negatively affected by the mass incarceration crisis and raise funds toward our programs that offer positive alternatives to the school-to-prison pipeline.
