Dylan Ander: HOT MESS



What better way to kick off the ‘Unofficial” start of Summer 2015 than with warm weather, good friends and  
NEW MUSIC!!


Dylan Ander’s Hot Mess is what is on my list and with his debut album coming out this June , my ipod is sure to be filled.

Me pinky promising Dylan that I won't share
my advance copy of Hot Mess with anyone!!

Dylan’s new album Binary Evolution promises to have the pop sounds and beat of Ed Sheeran and John Mayer. It debuts in just a few short days!


 


Dylan has been playing music and writing songs for years. He’s had great opportunities to play guitar for Jenna Rose and Artie Babz.  Dylan also has colabbed with Taylor Belle and Say It Say it!


I am most excited for the release of his Hot Mess video, coming out next week.
(Which I got to be in, with my friend Madison!!!)

 My mom runs a company called Star Dog Enterprises that provides children in need with brand new clothing. Through this our family has developed a relationship with a great organization that helps homeless families called Family Promise.

 We wanted to to give back to Family Promise in a big way so we put together the Make a Difference Concert to help raise funds and spread the word. 
 
We called our friends Veronica Kole, TyAlaxandar, Carrie Lane, Jenna Rose, Shawn Megira, Alessia Catania and Lenore Luca and the MADconcert was born.

The show was at Just Jake's in Montclair, NJ 
with 4 hours of fantastic music and fun!


We even had raffles with with ultimate fan experience prizes  to help raise more money for Family Promise.

The show was followed by a meet and greet with all the artists for the VIP ticket holders.

Don't Stand By, Stand Up

I have always been against bullying. I just have zero tolerance for people making fun of or having lack of respect for others.
 
It is important for everyone who has experienced some sort of bullying to know they aren’t alone. Most people in their life have experienced some type of bullying; you are not the only one to feel this way.
 
I’ve found the best way to help is to just be KIND. Just saying hello or giving someone a smile can make a huge difference.
 
 
Music, for me, has always been a great pick me up when I am feeling down. A great empowering song can change my mood in an instant. 
 
 
That is why it makes me proud to know someone who is out to combat bullying with music. My friend, Carrie Lane, wrote a song with a powerful, anti-bullying message of hope. The strong lyrics in her song Don’t Stand By Stand Up encourages young people to stand up, fight and be the change.

I am proud share and be a part of this video.
 
If you are a victim of Bullying, I just want to tell you, it will get better. It will.
I promise.
