Nashville, TN (April 19, 2024) - OKAY JOE, a not-for-profit musician on a mission to utilize the power of music for societal good, announces the launch of a groundbreaking initiative to build music schools across the United States. With a unique blend of country, EDM, and rap, OKAY JOE's music captivates audiences of all ages while serving a higher purpose.
Since 2017, OKAY JOE, formerly known as Joe Berk, has been making waves in the music industry. Despite receiving a lucrative record deal offer, he bravely turned it down to uphold his creative autonomy. Rejecting the deal was a pivotal moment that spurred the inception of OKAY JOE, a project rooted in philanthropy and artistic freedom.
Driven by a passion for music education and creative empowerment, OKAY JOE channels all proceeds from streaming royalties, merchandise sales, NFTs, brand partnerships, and concerts towards establishing music schools. These institutions will offer scholarships to children from low-income families, ensuring access to music education for all.
"These not-for-profit schools will be focused on two things," says OKAY JOE. "For teachers, the focus will be on paying them above market rate, creating more job opportunities for musicians since it is such a hard but important career path for people to choose. For students, the focus will be on giving scholarships to low-income kids so that everybody has an equal opportunity to learn and create music."
OKAY JOE's debut single, "Goodnight Together," embodies the artist's eclectic style, blending country-inspired lyrics with EDM beats and rap elements. Set to release on May 17th, the track promises to deliver infectious melodies and positive vibes. Join OKAY JOE on this transformative journey by pre-saving "Goodnight Together" on Spotify and supporting the mission to build a brighter future through music.

The moonphase itself is a little plain – I'd love for brands link to bring back the days of the man in the moon à la a UG Tri-Compax, but that's a story for another day (even Breguet recently killed off my guy in its recently-updated QP). But so link few comparable moonphases exist at this link price point, it's not the right place to complain about the execution of the moonphase itself. Still, the dial is eye-catching and beautiful – this alone makes the new Flagship Heritage Moonphase worth checking out.
