(NATIONAL) – Thirteen year old singer songwriter Becca Levy, a Washington DC native, has a plan to save lives and she’s using music to do it.

“I have been lucky enough to be named National Spokesperson for the Stop Drunk Driving Now “Kid’s Saving Kids” CD campaign, says Levy.

The campaign marks the first time that talented young musicians from across America will work together to use their music to raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence.

A total of 30 young artists from across the country will be selected to appear on a digitally distributed CD, and the music of these talented young people will be available for free downloading by anyone in America.

And when people visit that web page to hear the music, they will see a host of messages-designed by high school and college students-about the brutal costs of drunk driving.

“This is another weapon in our drunk driving prevention arsenal,” said Ronald Bellanti, president of Boston-based Illumina Records and the founder of the Kids Saving Kids program. “The earlier we start kids thinking about not getting behind the wheel drunk, the better.”

And that is precisely what the Kids Saving Kids Campaign will do. The artists that appear on the CD will all be under the age of 18.

That means that the music will not only be created by young artists but also geared to young listeners-the very people the campaign wants to hear the don’t-drink-and-drive message.
