Noel Experience at Midland Center for the Arts, solo in “Don’t Save it All for Christmas Day”
For your Grammy® Consideration!
Creating this record with 199 other @xpropelr music collaborators from 30 countries was a special moment. It wasn’t just about releasing a beautiful masterpiece with a social impact lens. “Dreaming Freedom” is a deeply heart-led sonic anthem, centred on real life stories, and representing the cries, tenacity, hopes, and dreams of the estimated 50 million people that continue to live in modern slavery today.
It’s our hope that this record continues to create freedom and fight the force of injustice that exists in our world.
Music brings beauty. Music brings change.
