Born in the pandemic, Song for You is a unique grassroots arts not-for-profit that provides healing and comfort to patients (and their loved ones) at the end of their lives. Through personalized recorded songs, we honor the legacies patients leave behind while bringing the healing power of music to those in need whether in hospice, hospital, or home.

Songs are also written for first responders & the health care workers who look after these very patients.

In the pandemic, over a time span of 18 months, our artists wrote, recorded, and shared over 175 songs--some covers, some originals of the Artists, but many of which were personalized recorded songs, written from scratch, based on the stories of each individual patient as told through their families. Songs were also written to honor first responders--including a staff as small as 100 Nurses in a hospice in NYC, to a song written for a healthcare system of 15,000 Nurses in Idaho at Christmas two years back. In April of 2024, we performed at the Grand Ole Opry House, in a private event honoring 1500 First Responders.

Following a most generous response from the community at large, A Song For You initiative has expanded beyond the pandemic and grown into "Song For You" Foundation, a 501c3 charity in NYC, writing for families, patients, & first responders across the country. In a few years time, we have attracted Grammy award-winning artists & nominees, along with local, touring, and internationally awarded artists both here and abroad to our simple mission of celebrating a person's life & legacy in song.

This year as we go forward with our mission of keeping songs free to families, we hope to grow our Artist Network, build our Executive Board, and spread our mission even further to deepen our impact. 🤍
