Canadian Musicians Produce Song for Haiti

I have been very fortunate to be part of many exciting project launches in my years. The most recent: Heartbeat For Haiti.

On January 12, 2010 – a magnitude 7.0 earthquake reduced Port-au-Prince, Haiti to rubble. In the days following this catastrophic event, many individuals and organizations came together to provide comfort, aid and support for a country in need.

Responding to the cries for help, the Calgary music community banded together to create and produce a song in support of Haiti relief efforts. HEARTBEAT FOR HAITI features the contributions of local emerging artists representing a full spectrum of musical genres, from Pop to Rock, Folk to R&B. Proceeds from sales of the song “(I Wrote You) A Song” and supporting compilation CD will go to World Vision Canada and the Canadian Red Cross.

The song “(I Wrote You) A Song” has been distributed to every radio station in Canada for airplay consideration. To support the radio release, a website has been launched where you can learn more about the HEARTBEAT FOR HAITI project and more importantly, where you can purchase and download our fundraising song.

Who is HEARTBEAT FOR HAITI? Produced at The Beach Recording Studio in Calgary, Alberta, this song was written by local emerging artists Amy Heffernan, Jessica Day and Steve Dodd. It is our contribution to the rebuilding of Haiti and also an opportunity to expose the exceptional talent of our local music scene.

How can you help? Call your favorite radio station in Canada and ask them to play the song. Tell your friends about Heartbeat For Haiti. Spread the word on your Social Media sites.

You can find us on Twitter and on Facebook.

And why is a Media Coach in Calgary Alberta involved in this project? The answer is simple: my desire to help the citizens in Haiti, my passion for music, and the thrill of working with so many talented emerging Artists from the local music scene.
