Our Annual Charity Music and Arts Festival Update

Dear friends, followers and supporters. As you know for the past two years I have been running our annual Charity Music and arts festival where 100% of the door proceeds go to a local charity in Los Angeles. This coming 2015 I am not sure if our festival will happen since I will not be able to cover the costs to run this amazing event out of pocket this coming year. I do not want to halt this festival in 2015, but need your support. We need to raise $500-$600 to help cover the costs to help run this event, take care of the volunteer bands and festival volunteers, sound technician, flyers and set up. I am planning on setting up a GoFund me or something similar to help raise these funds. Remember this charity festival is by people that want to make a difference and help local organizations and I want to be able to continue doing this year to help build a sense of community in L.A. Thank you <2

Kids Without Instruments (KWI) began as a dream that would later turn reality when two star-crossed-socially-awkward children met on the popular social media site Tumblr. Their identities are FrankJavCee, an 8-Bit, SNES RPG enthusiast producer/singer/songwriter and Marion, a shooting star singer/songwriter, who together began making melancholic pop beats in 2011.

 

Kids Without Instruments eventually found their way to some indie music industry ears, and were recently signed by Benjamin Groff of Kobalt Music Publishing, whose client roster includes: Skrillex, Bon Iver, Cut Copy, Gotye, Yeasayer, Kid Cudi, Band of Horses, LMFAO, Beck and Tiesto,

 

Kids Without Instruments hopes to one day start a charity that would give solar powered keyboards to children so that under privileged youth and the youth of third world countries can find the power in electronic music.-Full Bio

Dear Beloveds

Dear Beloveds began as a folk band consisting of siblings Elisa and Gunnar, based in Ojai, California. After performing duo for two years they met bassist and electronic music producer Oliwa (He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister) at Burning Man and instantly fell in love. They invited him to join them as a bandmate and co-producer for their debut EP, Emergence. Through this fruitful collaboration, Dear Beloveds new sound is expanding on their folk origins, layering lush synthesizers, electronic beats, and orchestral textures.-Bio

Thank you for a great 1 year Celebration last month!

Last month we celebrated our 1 year anniversary and had our 2nd Annual Birthday Card Drive For homeless youth from Safe Place For Youth. It was a very successful and fun night and I wanted to take the time to thank ALL of the sponsors, the bands, the venue, friends and family for being part of this special night.

There was a lot to celebrate that night,  especially the charity events that have happened since I founded ElektroPR. Our Birthday Card Drive For Homeless Youth, Share The Warmth Drive For Homeless Youth (coming up again this November 2nd), Charity Music & Art Festival. It has been a year of growing, networking, working with great local bands and helping them develop/ promote their talent.

I want to take the time here to post all of the links to our gracious giveaway sponsors and also the bands that made the night an unforgettable one:
