Lady A Talks "Road to One Seattle Soul" Upcoming Performance on Saturday
"The Day with Trae" recently featured Lady A, a renowned producer, singer, and songwriter, for an inspiring conversation about music and unity. Her campaign titled "Road to One Seattle Soul" is an initiative explicitly designed to unite the community through the power of music and address pressing social issues. On this episode, she talks about her inspiration, the impact of art, and her upcoming performance this Saturday, September 20th at 5PM at King Street Plaza.
Lady A shared compelling details about her illustrious career and the deeply personal inspiration behind her "One Seattle Soul" initiative. This multifaceted project strongly emphasizes community and tackling the pervasive issue of homelessness in Seattle. She recounted her prior commitment to her Red and White Holiday Affair events, which, for a remarkable nine years, consistently raised awareness and crucial funds for the homeless population in the city.
Lady A then elaborated on her decision to expand these efforts with "Road to One Seattle Soul," which commenced in June and features a series of free concerts. These concerts are building momentum towards a major event scheduled for December 14th at the iconic Moore Theatre. In addition to these free musical gatherings, she also announced the eagerly anticipated Heritage Ball, set for October 25th at the Seattle Opera House, which will serve as a vital fundraising event for “the young songsters” involved in the Rap City Project.
Throughout the engaging discussion, Lady A powerfully underscored the transformative ability of music to bring diverse people together and the paramount importance of giving back to the community. "The art of music brings people together. Music and food brings us together. But giving back to our community is what's important," she stated with conviction. This philosophy, she explained, is what she endeavors to impart to up-and-coming artists, encouraging them to consider what message are you spreading with their performances.
Lady A also proudly revealed her upcoming nonprofit organization, Lady A's Blues and Blessed Blessings Foundation, which is poised to further bolster her extensive philanthropic endeavors. She urged the audience to attend the remaining free concerts, and as a gesture of support for the homeless, to bring gently used coats or blankets.
