Press Release CD Compilation to Raise Funds For Haiti
Several Artists have composed songs of hope and together are releasing a 12 Track CD entitled “ Haiti. . .Unto The Least of These ” This compilation was intended for one purpose in mind, to help the earthquake-torn nation of Haiti. Over the past few weeks people have donated resources, time, and talentsto see this collaborative project come together. From the studio time, to the reproduction of the CD, to the printing and promo, this work has been a labor of love on a national level.
Artist’s are represented from the GMA ( Gospel Music Association ), C.S.M.I. ( Christian Songwriter’s and Musician’s Intl.) and Indieheaven, and will be raising awareness throughout the year at their venue’sThe CD features 11 artists to include. . .Lara Landon, Bill Petty, Diane Di Stasio, Gene Schmidt, Paul Berkus ,Deanna Loveland, Remnant, Joshua Scott, Naima Johnston, Jason Wyatt, and Holly Hartz.
“ I ached at the thought of seeing elderly people not being cared for and mounted on thin uncomfortable cots, left in soiled clothing, and out in the hot sun.Children wondering aimlessly looking for their parents, wounded people with no pain killers to numb their pain. “ writer Gene Schmidt from Watertown Wisconsin said, “ I knew I had to do something, and for me that was to write a song that encourages others to help carry the burden in a practical way.”The chorus reads; “ Lend a hand where hands are torn and scarred, be a friend to a child with a broken heart, give to those with less then you and me, who will hear the cry, . . . of Haiti.
Singer/songwriter Lara Landon, co-founder of New Reality International and one of Christian music's top new artists, collaborated with producer Chris Omartian to produce two heartfelt songs for the album. Chris Omartian, son of legendary pop producer Michael Omartian, has produced tracks with pop stars such as Pink and Hilary Duff in addition to teen pop band Jump 5 and popular gospel group 4Him. The song "Look Up" was written shortly after Landon's recent relief trip to Haiti this past November and was inspired by the resilience and determination of the Haitian people. Landon hopes that the album will not only raise awareness and funds, but will also stir the spirit of compassion in listeners bringing them closer to the heart of God and the heart of the Haitian people.
Two organizations that have been actively providing emergency aid for Haiti and who will be recipients of the funds collected are; New Reality International and HarvestSeed Intl. For more information on these two organizations visit;
