A Washington, D.C., teen is seeking help from young Ohio musicians to create a music CD for national release to raise awareness about the dangers of driving drunk.

Becca Levy, 13, is using her music to make a difference. “Did you know that every 32 minutes, a person dies in a drunk driving accident in America? When I learned this, I realized that this was something I wanted to do something about – and the best way was through music. It’s a language that all young people speak,” Levy said in a press release.

Becca has been named national spokes-person for the Stop Drunk Driving Now Kids Saving Kids CD Campaign. The campaign marks the first time young musicians from across America will work together to use their music to raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence.

How it will work

A total of 30 young artists selected for the project will appear on a digitally distributed CD, and the music will be available for free downloading by anyone in America.

When people visit the page to hear the music, they will see a host of messages designed by high school and college students about the consequences of drunk driving and other prevention messages.

To submit music for consideration, you must be 18 or younger. Those “auditioning” should submit an MP3 or WAV file of one of your songs to ksksubmit@stopdd now.com. Include your age, hometown and your parents’ contact information.

There is no charge for auditioning or being involved in the project if selected. On the Web
