It started with a song of peace
ROTU began with one idea: bring musicians from 90 countries together to write and sing a song of peace. That purpose has stayed in the work ever since.
The beginning
Anthem for the World
Musicians from 90 countries wrote and sang one song of peace. The video went viral around the world in 2011 and led to a sold-out performance at Symphony Hall in Boston, then shows on the Esplanade and Boston Common. It launched ROTU, and it set the standard for what our work should do: bring people together.
Conservation
Mercury Uprising
I produced this documentary and music video for Wildlife Warriors, traveling into the Peruvian Amazon to film illegal gold mining and deforestation at real personal risk. It screened at the COP20 and COP21 United Nations climate conferences.
Games for good
Ionia × Wildlife Warriors
Ionia launched in 2021 as the first VR game with a public nonprofit partner: Wildlife Warriors, the conservation charity founded by Steve Irwin. Robert Irwin appears at the end of the game, and 5% of every copy sold went to Wildlife Warriors.
Music education
Jam Theory
Jam Theory is an educational VR music tool funded by Unity. Meta donated over 500 headsets to under-resourced music programs across the country, so students who can't afford a piano or an instrument can still learn how music works.
Beyond
Media for good
Productions for the Harvard School of Public Health and other nonprofit and philanthropic ventures.
I'm an advocate for wildlife and ecosystem preservation, and for early childhood education.
