Singer-Songwriters: Do you have an original song for my dance?

Philadelphia PA

Description

Hi Philly musician community! I have what you might call a collaboration request. I am planning to choreograph a dance piece for This Is My Brave - The Show in Philadelphia. The show will be professionally filmed and posted on https://thisismybrave.org/, YouTube, social media, etc., so I cannot dance to a song without having permission from the artist since there are all sorts of copyright/legal issues there. A little more info: the show is all about erasing the stigma around mental illness and addiction, and the vision for the musical accompaniment to my dance piece is lyric-focused with positive emotion vibes, as well as maybe a hint of folk and nature influence. I really wanted to use Australian artist Xavier Rudd's "We Deserve To Dream" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2dkp2jMWRU), but I haven’t heard back from his management company with approval (I am very dense and now realize it is not that simple to get a hold of international musicians’ “people”). So my ask: does anyone have a song with this sort of energy that you want to put out into the universe and attach it to this good cause? Ideally, it would be a vocalist with at least one instrument. It can be a recording, but by all means, if you wanted to actually be in the show with me and play/perform live, even better. :-) Or if anyone has other ideas of where I might be able to find local singer-songwriters who might be interested in this project, please let me know!
