I am only able to express myself creatively through a platform such a music because of the circumstances I have been born into. The majority of the people on this planet are denied basic rights simply because of the circumstances they may have been born into: a country torn by war or famine, oppression based on religion, culture, gender, economic class, skin colour...the list goes on.

Charity - to me - is not about "helping the less fortunate" or "doing a good deed". It is about re-establishing the balances of justice and equality our global systems upset. This is my basic obligation to my fellow human beings.

With that in mind, a percentage of all money raised through sales of my recordings goes to support the important efforts of the Independent Living Centre Of Waterloo Region, the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation's High School Grant Project and the Enter Into Peace trust fund for the Al Imtiaz Academy.

Please help me in my support of these important efforts by reading more about them and donating generously to their work.
