Higher dementia risk due to social isolation

The Surgeon General's Advisory on Loneliness, Isolation, and Connection (May 2023) identifies social disconnection as a public health crisis with profound mental, emotional, and physical consequences, particularly for today's youth. The advisory calls for rebuilding social infrastructure and fostering meaningful community ties, sparking a movement to address a fundamental human need: connection. Music emerges as a transformative solution, uniquely capable of bridging divides, fostering bonds, and creating safe spaces for self-expression and shared experiences. By integrating music into schools, community programs, and youth initiatives, we can empower the next generation to build confidence, combat feelings of insignificance, and develop a stronger sense of belonging. This movement has the power to heal individuals and mend the social fabric, paving the way for a more connected, resilient, and healthier society

MIKE CIPRARI

At 15, I launched a custom drum company from my grandmother’s basement.

Now, that drum company is a global brand.

I bring that same DIY grit and creative fire to events, keynotes, and workshops that move people and spark action.

That DIY spirit helped me:

— Build a brand people would tattoo on them
— Lead workshops with VANS, Volcom, and more
— Collaborated with some of the most creative artists in the game

Let’s create an experience that leaves your attendees empowered, inspired, and fired up to turn passion into purpose and chase their dreams.

  • "Loyal to the Craft" is based off the passion of the music and inner driver to be the best musician you can possibly be. Sitting down with the team and hearing the commitment to continuing the inspiration/education has been refreshing. I'm excited for what's to come from this project!”
