Producer/composer/guitarist Mike Einziger, Pharrell Williams, composer Hans Zimmer and Blink-182’s Travis Barker are among the Academy Award, Golden Globe and Grammy award winners who have come together to record a song  in support of the International Labour Organization’s “Red Card to Child Labour” campaign. Also performing on the song is Minh Dang, a survivor of child trafficking, and newcomer Liz.
The song, “Til Everyone Can See,” and the music video will launch on June 12, World Day Against Child Labour. It was written by Einziger (founder/guitarist/songwriter for the groundbreaking band Incubus) and internationally acclaimed violinist, Ann Marie Simpson. The idea for a song came to both musicians after they met with the ILO and learned about the millions of children in child labour. When Hans Zimmer heard the demo of the song, he decided to support their efforts and also enlist Pharrell and other musicians.  Einziger, Simpson, Zimmer and Williams most recently worked together on the soundtrack for The Amazing Spiderman 2.
“There are 168 million children between the ages of five and 18 years in child labour around the world, doing work they are too young to perform,” said Einziger. “Many are denied the opportunity to go to school. 85 million of them are doing work that puts their health or safety, sometimes even their lives, in danger. They’re victims of exploitation in the drugs or sex trade, are recruited as soldiers or made to beg, to work in mines and sweatshops or as domestic workers. This is unacceptable,” he said.
Founded in 1919, The International Labour Organization (ILO), is the oldest specialized agency of the United Nations. The ILO has the world’s biggest programme to combat child labour – the International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC).
“This is an opportunity for artists and the global community to join the efforts of the ILO’s constituents – governments, businesses and workers’ organizations to raise awareness about child labour, and to make a difference in the lives of millions of children,” said Marcia Poole, Communications Director for the ILO.
June 12 is also the start of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the most watched sports event in the world, with an estimated audience of three billion people.  The choice of the Red Card and the launch date of the campaign are deliberate: the Red Card is a powerful image that is recognized across the world as a warning that something is wrong and must stop.
Other musicians and music organizations around the world are also helping raise awareness of the plight of child workers through the Global  Music against Child Labour Initiative with  orchestras and other musicians dedicating concerts to the fight against child labour.

Aiming to reduce the rates of HIV and STD infections among the youth demographic, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) has teamed up with pop-punk solo performer Eryn Woods, who will be using her spring/summer tour with pop girl group The Millionaires to promote safer sex to their young fan base. The Eryn Woods and The Millionaires tour will be making stops in California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado, Montana, Ohio, Nevada, and Wisconsin over the next six weeks beginning in April 25th until May. Each show will feature a performance of the safer sex awareness song composed by Eryn Woods for AHF, “It’s a Wrap,” a message to would-be paramours that the only way they’ll be allowed to get intimate is if they plan to “play it safe” by using a condom. Thousands of free condoms – donated to the tour by AHF – will be distributed at each show.

Though many songs by The Millionaires feature explicit lyrics about casual sex, all of the artists on the tour were excited by the opportunity to pair their party-promoting tunes with important messaging about protecting your health and the health of your partners.

“There are 9 million new infections among young people aged 18 to 24 every year, and that’s not something we can just stand by and accept,” said Eryn Woods. “The Millionaires and I are so honored that young people look up to us and listen to us, and we want to use that as an opportunity to deliver a positive message that could ultimately save a lot of lives.”
