Music Moves.
If you’ve ever wanted to do good with your music, to move someone with your lyrics, here’s your chance. Through the power of song we want to help young women and men make better choices. Define goals and reach their potential. Live healthier lives. Through this creative effort, we can speak to these young people in a way that should inspire change. That should empower them to take control of their lives and their futures. That should make them recognize that the time to tune their minds, their lives and their relationships is now.
Tune is a movement about self-adjustment and self-awareness. A shift in how young people take care of themselves today and in the future. Just as an instrument was never meant to be played out of tune, our lives and bodies were never meant to either. The time to Tune starts now.
If you’re a songwriter, group or poet and you’re interested in this idea, we’d love for you to participate. It doesn’t cost anything to enter this contest. Simply submit your song or songs that fit one of the messages we’re looking for. What we want to stress is that this contest is open to anyone from any genre - rock, reggae, hip hop, punk, pop, folk, Latin, alternative, Native American or spoken word. We’d love to hear the music that you pen with the Tune messages at heart.
