WHAT:
|
A-list
performance marks the announcement of the five-year mPowering
Mobile Platform, a groundbreaking program designed to
encourage youth to define and share the global issues that are most
important to them using mobile technology.
|
|
|
|
The
mPowering Mobile Platform and mobile app will officially launch at
a 2013 Grammy Week event, and will enable youth around the world to
submit stories about their world, the issues most important to
them, and gain access to organizations in their regions relevant to
the issues they care about most. In short—mobile technology will
become a passport for youth to make a difference on a global scale
– one action at a time.
|
|
|
|
Some of
the first digital content on the mobile application will include
songs recorded at the concert, as well as an exclusive track by
Timbaland and Agnes Monica (a.k.a., AGNEZ MO). Timbaland and
Monique Mosley will co-host the evening and share their
inspirational stories about causes dear to them. The mobile
application will continue to bring in new songs and artists as the
mPowering Mobile Platform debuts at other events around the
world.
|
|
|
WHY:
|
With the world population
steadily increasing, the resource constraints that come with such
sustained growth will impact young people most severely. Yet young
people, who account for 43% of the world's population (in some
countries, such as Brazil, Nigeria and Tanzania, the number is as
high as 60%), can be an innovative source of solutions to these
challenges—if engaged and motivated. The mPowering Mobile Platform recognizes this
potential by harnessing the power of music to captivate and inspire
today's young people to take action alongside organizations that
specifically work to improve global issues.

ABOUT AVICII:
Beginning his career
at 18, the self-taught, fresh-faced Swede that is Avicii has had
greater success at 22 than most could hope for in a lifetime. With
chart-toppers such as Seek Bromance, My Feelings For You, Fade into
Darkness, Silhouettes, and LE7ELS, Avicii has since 2008 risen from
bedroom music-maker to international superstar. He has headlined
Ultra Music Festival with Madonna, completed a $1M charity tour, done an exclusive collaboration
with Ralph Lauren: Denim &
Supply, and embarked on one of the biggest EDM arena tours-to-date
this year. Kicking 2012 off with his unique 'House for
Hunger' tour, Avicii and his manager Ash Pournouri personally
donated $1M to the organization
'Feeding America,' by doing a not-for-profit 27-stop tour in the
U.S. Additional information about Avicii can be found at:
