This moment is what it’s all about: mentorship, leadership, opportunity, and giving young people a voice. Our friend Add-2 from @GOGO said it best “It shouldn’t be rare for someone to care about you.” What began as a seemingly impossible idea grew into a powerful collaboration between young people from Guitars Over Guns and Eddie, first connected through the @The Obama Foundation. Together, they created “Better Believe” — an original song that they debuted live onstage in front of thousands at the Obama Presidential Center opening in June, with the performance reaching audiences around the world online. Now, go behind the scenes of how the recording and performance came to be. Watch the full music video at the link in bio.
