The Brighter Days Project
The Brighter Days Project (Album Release Date: December 2nd, 2016)
I got the opportunity to work with many great musicians in the Seattle area to put out an album dedicated to depression awareness. The band Manifide is an orchestral rock band consisting of Mike Jauregui and Ethan Campbell, who each play multiple instruments on the album. They composed several songs for an album and decided an orchestra backing was the way to go. They gathered seven orchestral musicians to record the orchestra backing and the Brighter Days album was created over the course of several months.
"The 'Brighter Days Project' is our movement to raise awareness of depression and mental illness, and to help abandon the stigma society has for it by educating the public that even a person with depression or mental illness can be a positive influence on the world." ~Manifide
