St. Louis Community Collaboration Album 2022-2023
Link To YouTube Playlist | LiNk To See All Participants
This album compiles around 75 different artists, musicians, entertainers, and multimedia people in the St. Louis, Missouri area. This group of unique people and the songs and videos that they created represent our great home of St. Louis and its diversity and talent. It also illustrates how music and entertainment are gateways to connecting people by being a world language, which unites regardless of demographic or even skill level. When people connect and come together with the common beat in their heart, great things can be achieved and barriers are overcome.
This album of 21 songs has been 6 months in the making from the end of 2022 through the beginning of 2023. Various people I’ve met the last 3 years, and anyone else that wanted to participate, were welcome to utilize their creativity to make up and add their part from scratch. There was little guidance in creating parts to ensure for maximum creativity by each participant. This project was to be a for fun collaboration without much pressure. As such, majority of parts were recorded and put together right here in my home with minimal amount of equipment and recording time per person.
Given the hard work of everyone, please be sure to like, share, and fully watch and listen to the entire album. They are order in a way so that they may flow in a story sort of format. Details of who are on each song are in the description details of each video. The songs are also available on all streaming platforms. If you’d like to join future projects, or donate to our cause since everyone in the project volunteered their time, effort, and talents, please contact us or donate via CashApp/Venmo @/$ ZYILISTL.
So without further delay, thank you for your support, and please enjoy the music.
