Jim Brickman Partners with Ukrainian Chorus Dumka NY & Others to Record a Song to Help Rebuild Ukraine

GRAMMY-nominated pianist Jim Brickman, hit-making husband and wife duo Haley & Michaels, and #1 selling father-daughter duo Mat and Savanna Shaw collaborated with the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka NY to record a brand new song "Peace Joy Love." All of them came together in New York to create a unique and moving video, filmed in historic surroundings of The Ukrainian Institute of America, a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the art, music and literature of Ukraine.

Brickman writes, "We teamed up with #UkrainianChorusDumkaNY National Choir of Ukraine "DUMKA" to send a message of hope with our song "Peace Joy Love". As artists and songwriters it is important to us to use our voices and platform to support the people of Ukraine."

All proceeds from downloads and streams of the single will be donated to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's UNITED24 fundraising platform to aid the rebuilding of the country's damaged infrastructure. Through the project, inspired by President Zelensky's speech at the 2022 Grammys, calling musicians to "fill the silence with music," the artists hope to bring a positive and hopeful message.

Ryan Michaels, who produced the project, said "It's important to us as artists and songwriters to use our voice and platform to do everything we can and speak up against injustice. It has been an incredible honor to work with Vasyl [Hrechynsky], the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka and so many talented artists." 

Shannon Haley added, "We wrote this song to send a message of peace and hope into the world as we stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine."
