 Julian
Owens,
MPH - Executive Producer
MusicSenergy™ is the creative
brainchild of Julian Owens. Programming is exculsively implemented by HERE’S 2 LIFE, [H2L]
- a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization whose mission is to develop and deliver innovative
programs that
address dis-ease by
illuminating pathways to wealth and
wellness. H2L
programming examines the attitudes,
beliefs
and choices [ABCs] that shape our lives. Faith, hope, love, romance, personal
responsibility, social
awareness and learning from life lessons
are Seven Jewels
that help us grow and prosper.
Why is MusicSenergy™?
There is perhaps,
no other art form as universal and persuasive as music. The sound of
music strikes a chord on the keys of Man’s soul – despite age, race,
gender or any other difference – igniting vibrations in our mind and
body.
The power of music
over young people especially seems almost supernatural. Like torrents
of rain over low ground it saturates them, leaving no appetite
un-whetted. Ready to absorb new knowledge, they reach out to music for
answers to life’s most serious questions. Modern popular singers once
referred to as “teen idols” are now more like spiritual leaders - their
song lyrics taken for scripture and prophecy.
The impact music
has on us is nothing new. But this impact is not all bad, especially if
it was balanced with a heightened awareness of just how much the
sound of music influences us on many levels.
Teenagers in
particular are struggling to find a sense of self in the music they
listen to. Their favorite song might simply consist of two rhyming
couplets repeated twenty or thirty times, but somehow it satisfies the
young listener’s craving for independence.
MusicSenergy™offers a
creative approach to working with youth offering alternatives to
today's commerical music. Owens' work with youth and young adults
heightens their awareness of music's role in our daily lives. Owens'
work also reminds us all just how much music influences our attitudes, beliefs and choices [ABCs]. His signature Seven Jewels™
approach to songwriting is different and just the difference many
teachers, concerned parents and socially conscience artisans are
seeking today as many struggle to find alternatives to the prevailing
pop culture that perpetuates dis-ease. MusicSenergy™ extends a
lifeline to a generation some say is lost.
