What Becca Levy lacks in years she makes up for with heart.

The 13-year-old Washington, D.C., native has just entered her teen years but already has had her fill of drunk driving accidents, which kill thousands each year.

She is using her music to make a difference and is looking for a few Kentucky teens to help her.

“Did you know every 32 minutes, a person dies in a drunk driving accident in America?” postulated Levy, a national representative for the Stop Drunk Driving Now Kids Saving Kids CD campaign. “When I learned this, I realized this was something I wanted to do something about. And the best way was through music. It’s a language all young people speak.”

The Kids Saving Kids campaign marks the first time that young musicians from across America will work together using their music to raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence, according to Illumina Records, a partner in the Kids Saving Kids initiative. “This is a great way for kids from across America to work together and save lives,” Levy said. “To be able to achieve that through our music is amazing.”

The digitally distributed CD will feature 30 teen artists, whose music will be available for free download online. When people visit the Web site to hear the music, they will see a host of messages designed by high school and college students about the cost and prevention of drunk driving.

Each artist featured on the CD will be 18 or younger and the music will target young listeners.

Interested musicians can submit an MP3 or WAV file of one song to ksksubmit@stopddnow.com. The song must be a recorded original. The submission must include the musician’s age, hometown and parents’ contact information.
