It’s not just about talent, passion, and proving this and that to who-cares. Artistry has and continues to influence culture and societies around the world. Artists and celebrities are in turn looked at as role models with fans and children tirelessly imitating their lifestyles and hoping to somehow be like them.

Such privilege, fame and influence calls for a greater amount of responsibility towards artists themselves in how they live their lives and the choices they make as well as what they invest back into their communities, those places where their talents were born and where their fans live.

An artist who can think beyond self to the service of others and benefit of their community is an artist worthy of admiration and respect.
