Getting the world Plugged-IN

The “Battery Tour” has grown to be a global initiative hosting sustainable powered concerts, festivals, and events powered by renewable energy. But the story of how we got here is quite complex.

My motivation was simple--change the world. Early in my music career, I knew that I wanted my story and impact to extend beyond the stage. After a flurry of musical collaborations and stage performances around the country, I was blessed with the opportunity to perform for the judges on the hit show “The X-Factor”.

After my experience there, I was struggling to establish my brand and define my contribution to the musical industry. After being denied as a performer on stage after stage, I vowed to “Say Hey” to the world in my own way. I was determined to use music as a vehicle for self-expression, positivity, and love--but I needed to bring the music to the people.

Most musical performances require an extensive amount of electricity and energy for the equipment. Because of this, many entertainers spend a significant amount of time coordinating with an event host to ensure that the facilities can accommodate the machinery necessary for a performance. As a performer, I was disgusted with what I saw as a waste of energy and resources. I knew that there had to be a better way--a way to bring musical performance to the masses while using eco-friendly practices.

I began storing renewable energy in batteries and performing using those batteries to power my equipment. I called these events the "Battery Tour", and supporters dubbed themselves "outlets" who are “plugged in” to the BT.

After traveling the country and performing using my rechargeable batteries, I deepened my knowledge and understanding of the global energy crisis. Over 1 billion people lack access to electricity. In collaboration with other creatives and innovative minds, We began developing sustainable solutions to help bring renewable energy to people around the world.

Once built, I started raising money through my own concerts to send a person in need an outlet.

PROUD ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Since 2012 we have helped promote, develop and deploy sustainable solutions in over 17 countries.

In 2018, I was able to visit Honduras on a mission trip. https://youtu.be/d-yjcSwS1I4 It was an incredible experience that ultimately led to a meeting with the United Nations about the Battery Tour’s role in sustainability innovation.

Our future looks bright.
