08 - CHAD LEWINE: Songwriter. Performer. Messenger.

American recording artist, Chad Lewine, wants to restore balance to the music industry.

"I am more of an activist than a musician", he says.

Chad Lewine has had enough of the bad vibes coming from the popular music of today, where violence, addiction and misogyny are glamourized.

"Your energy is being sucked out of you and you don't even know it."

His tagline is POP. FOR GOOD.

The world could use a bit more positivity.

So, what does it mean to 'heal the music industry'?

(And who are 'they'?)

The answer is simple: diversification through monetary redistribution, and a moral clean-up.

But healing the industry starts with healing the individual.

Admitting that we are screwed up, and reminding ourselves that we are divine.

And -that music isn't free.

But who cares? My music is where I belong.
