The entire project has been brought together in just two weeks by writer/producer Kenny Young. Having made a career out of writing some of the most famous songs ever recorded (such as Under The Boadwalk) Mr. Young has dedicated the last twenty years to supporting climate change and natural disaster relief projects by releasing charity albums from some of the biggest names in pop history, through the charity Artists Project Earth (APE), of which he is a founder.
He said: “All these great artists have given up their time to be part of an album that will raise money to help people in Haiti who are suffering the devastating effects of the earthquake. Now please do your bit to help: Buy the album!”
Artists Project Earth is already putting money into Haiti and will shortly have a team member stationed there to coordinate the charity´s efforts. It is hoped that the album will raise millions of dollars to aid the relief effort.
“APE is an established charitable organization and we exist to raise funding for natural disaster relief and climate change mitigation”, says Young. “We´ve sold over 1 million albums in the last few years so we are familiar with many of the challenges. There is much to do to help the relief and recovery programmes in Haiti - so please download this album and make a donation. Buy the Simon Cowell single too, of course, but make sure you buy this as well!”
