The result? Download to Donate, an album full of unreleased tracks to raise funds for the victims of the quake. Artists on the album include Alanis Morissette, The All-American Rejects, Dave Matthews Band, Enrique Iglesias, Hoobastank, Kenna, Lupe Fiasco, Peter Gabriel, Slash, and of course, Linkin Park.
As Music for Relief’s Executive Director, Whitney Showler has seen the incredible impact of artists stepping forward to make a difference . “This album is special because so many artists and their fans stepped forward to let Music for Relief know they wanted to help the people of Haiti. Boundaries came down and artists and fans of a variety of genres wanted to work together to make a difference.”
She also told me that this isn’t the first time Music For Relief has stepped up to help Haiti. “The people of Haiti were struggling even before the Earthquake in January. Music For Relief raised funds last year to help following the four hurricanes that devastated parts of the nation and we knew we had to help again following this tragedy.”
