Just any time you could help make change or bring awareness to issues through music, especially things that you care about -- that I care about -- like climate and the planet and bringing folks that are just disenfranchised, you know, lifting them up with not only funds, but information and preparation for tomorrow is what I'm about personally," said the super producer of the upcoming Global Citizen Live shows.
