Liberty is coming to Liberia through Music and Crowdfunding The LIBSTUDIO is a new crowdfunding project being launched on www.Generosity.com to promote liberty from war and poverty in Liberia through music 24 March 2016 MELBOURNE The lack of opportunities and the inexistent sense of a promising future that children and youth can feel that they can cling to is a dramatic scenario that greatly defines Liberia but which is about to be changed by LIBSTUDIO the new crowdfunding initiative that is being launched today on s www.generosity.com According to Zito Ballo the author of the initiative I was a Liberian refugee who firstly made it to Ghana as a teenager escaping Liberia s consecutive wars and economic chaos. I was fortunate enough to subsequently come to Australia where I have had a chance to build my musical education and career getting a chance of becoming a fulfilled individual with a good life something that most Liberian youth cannot even dream of. That s exactly how I want to help my fellow Liberian friends by giving them a real chance of emancipating themselves through music. The LibStudio will be a mobile music studio that Ballo will take to Liberia and to other African countries affected by similar problems empowering giving voice and giving real chances to local youth so that they can find in music the vehicle for liberty that they can t find anywhere else. Along with the mobile recording studio the LibStudio will also have other sound engineering and music production equipment and also cameras so that the project can run a full mobile production of music and music video clips. This is how we will empower these local talents by finally giving them a chance to make something meaningful and rewarding with their lives through music and art despite the local harsh challenges and threats that they face every day Ballo commented. Ballo s personal journey is a revealing example of how well this project can work for other Liberian children teenagers and young adults. In Australia undeterred by the traumas caused by what he had witnessed in Liberia having lost more friends and family members than he can count Zito Ballo finally found the right environment to follow music as his long-time inspiration. Ballo began rapping at age 16 and in 2009 he got his Diploma in Music Production Sound Engineering at Melbourne s School of Audio Engineering. He later set up his own home recording studio Shatter Records and he now produces beats for local artists and sells beats on his beats online store. This was a life-changing chance that I ve been given. I just feel that I should try my best to extend this chance to other Liberian children and youth. However I can t do it alone so that s why I decided to create the LibStudio and use crowdfunding to make this project possible Ballo stated. The LibStudio crowdfunding campaign is being launched today at s www.generosity.com community-fundraising libstudio-liberty-in-liberia-through-music--2 in which Zito Ballo is seeking to raise 80 000 to turn his LibStudio dream of a better Liberia into reality.
