"BREATHE" VIDEO TO PREMIERE ON CNN TOMORROW 10/21 @ 2 PM ESTHey everyone,
I have some very exciting news.
My new video for 'Breathe' will premiere on CNN.com on Wed. October 21st on their 2pm live broadcast. They will show a portion of the video, interview me and then run the full video at the end. Check it out at cnn.com/live tomorrow. When thinking of what kind of video to make for the song that means most to me, as I play it live throughout the country, I wanted to make sure it would mean something more than booty shakin' and fast cars, which we all see too much of lately. (I also wasn't blessed with they booty gene so it's all good). I have heard so many of your emotional stories out there as I have met so many of you over the last few months and you have made clear to me that 'Breathe' means more to you than that, as it does to me, so it was important to me to make this.
The video addresses the sad current state of unemployment in this country and puts a real face on the situation. It features all real people looking for work who I got to know and understand how unfortunate the situation is. One of my best friends is in it, as well, so it hits close to home.
The most exciting thing for me is that I have set up a website, breathe4jobs.com, which will be up when the video premieres so those who can help can learn more and actually reach out to this very real cast in the video. I am very excited to put real faces to this problem and even more excited to make a difference and help.
Thank you all for being so supportive of what I do. I am so grateful every second of every day I am getting my voice and message out there one by one. Keep doing what you do and spread the word.
Much love,
Ryan
