COMPASSIONART

Martin Smith (Delirious? frontman) found himself sitting in a 5-star hotel room, then going to the slums to minister to the poor. The dichotomy of it all hurt him to the core. He decided to give back what he has: a microphone, a platform and the ability to write songs, and asked 11 friends to join him and do the same.

Remarkably, his friend’s, who happen to be amongst the most well-known and gifted worship songwriters in the world, all cleared their schedules and joined him for a songwriters retreat.

14 of those songs are about to be revealed on the CompassionArt album, in November, but bigger than that…all the proceeds ever raised by these songs will forever go to help the poorest communities around the world. The songwriters will not receive a penny. Seven genre defining vocalists have joined the group of 12 to sing on the album as all the songwriters labels are working together to jointly release this album. And the story continues as people respond to this act of kindness…
