Bio
Afro-beat lullabies, future jazz protest songs and electronic hymns is how I would best describe the collection of ditties that is my debut full-length album, Godchild. I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about what I want to say and the messages that I want to put out. This has been a complete labor of love and I hope that it translates and transforms into a tool for change. Thank to some fabulous folk, incredible blessings, good ole fashioned elbow grease and divine unction, we are finally here. For starters, you can check the new 12" out on Love Jones Recordings/Recordbreakin. You can get yo vinyl on or check for it on itunes! Godchild, the album, will be dropping early 2009 so stayed tuned for details. I look forward to sharing it with you. Until then, this is your girl Joy...always on the grind, in the shine, trying to pay my rent on time!

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MITT ROMNEY'S AMERICA ...

"I'm not concerned about the very poor."

"Corporations are people."

"My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never
convince them they should take personal responsibility
and care for their lives."

~ Mitt Romney

IF A FREE SOCIETY CANNOT HELP THE MANY WHO ARE

POOR, IT CANNOT SAVE THE FEW WHO ARE RICH!

~ John F. Kennedy

Ask Yourself - Have You Been KIND TODAY ?

I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS MONTH - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT KINDNESS ...

One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their lifetime. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life?

Most of us think that changing the world is impossible. The world is too big…too many people in it…too many problems to solve. Do you often feel this way? While it’s understandable, be assured that it is not true!

NO ACT OF KINDNESS ~ HOWEVER SMALL IS EVER
WASTED! HOW MANY LIVES CAN WE CHANGE IF WE
PRACTICE KINDNESS EVERY DAY?

With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Richard

Only WE Can STOP WORLD HUNGER !

I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WORLD HUNGER ...

Here is some FOOD FOR THOUGHT ~

> Every 3.6 seconds a person dies of HUNGER

> 75% of them are CHILDREN

> 30 million people a year DIE OF HUNGER

> HUNGER is the world's #1 Health Risk ~ It kills more
   people every year than AIDS, malaria, and TB
   combined

> 1 in 7 people in the world will go to bed hungry tonight

> 925 million people do not have enough to eat and
   98% of them live in developing countries

> In the U.S. alone, we spend 5 times the amount each
   year it would take to feed the world's hungry on WEIGHT
   LOSS PROGRAMS
