“While world tensions escalate local music producer and crew create global harmony through stories and songs,” Diercks says in an email. “Music unites us…music reminds us…music is borderless.”

Diercks believes sharing stories and songs help us understand each other as humans. He’s worked with multi-platinum, No. 1, Top 10 hit songwriters, artists, producers and executives at Atlantic, BNA, Capitol, MCA, RCA, SONY, Universal and at Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.

“When we’re willing to listen to each other, we hear: Our stories are different. Our human condition is shared. When we understand each other better as humans together, we can create a better world.”

Songwriters include: Carrie DeMaeyer of Kemble, Ontario, Canada; Dana Baker of Nashville, TN; Ess Nelson of Oakland, CA; Hannah Harris of Tulsa, OK; Joshua Aaron Guthrie of Dover-Foxcroft, Me; Nana Lee of Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Noel Williams of Los Angeles, CA; and Trish Evans of Calgary, Alberta Canada.
