NUMBER ONE


Can one song change the world?

In response to the remarkable and unprecendented events taking place around the world, I wanted to release a song and create a video that spoke to the global zeitgeist, could act as a means of tangible support for human rights, and could serve as a symbol solidarity with all who are fighting for freedom around the world. That’s what “Number One” is to me.

Each of us can change the world, if we begin by changing the way we relate to it. We are all one human family.

Download my single “Number One” here and support the rights of people around the world.

By purchasing “Number One” you will help raise money for Human Rights Watch, and bring us closer to a world where we are truly ONE. I stand with my sisters and brothers around the globe who dream and work for a better tomorrow. You are all my “Number One”
