Music Can Bring Peace

Do you really believe that peace can be achieved through music? Well, not entirely but at some point, music is the best instrument to show how global conflicts can be calmed down upon hearing some lyrics that talk about world peace.

Personally, you can also find inner peace when you listen to soothing compositions and try to understand what it wants to imply. There are musicians who bring greater peace within conflicted zones and have proven its power.

In fact, music has been somewhat underestimated by some people who haven’t seen its real essence yet. When it comes to the power of music, it’s indeed invaluable. You cannot deny the fact that around the world, music has been a great outlet of feelings and other negative emotions.

There are great possibilities that songs can change one spiritually and emotionally because in some ways, it pierces through our hearts when we know that it has something valuable to tell. Apparently, music has the power to stir your emotions especially when it comes to emotional memories.

Once the music, whatever you are listening to, enters your ears, it has every chance to enter through your heart too. In this way, it brings calm and peace to you while realizing that you have found inner stillness, in mind and in soul.

Can music really bring peace? This is a question only you can find the answer to. This is actually a matter of self realization. You may spend the whole week listening to one song that really affects you emotionally. It will help you find its real meaning to your life and be uplifted that happiness is a choice.

Get lost in ecstasy by hearing a genuine song that allows you to be peaceful and content no matter what you do in life.

Peace Through music

Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music. These are the words of Jimmi Hendrix, one of the most influential musicians on the face of the earth. One couldn’t simply put the meaning and soul of music into words in a better way than this.

Music is a universal language, one that is understood by all, disregarding all the differences of ethnic beliefs. The most common yet amazing example is the response of a baby who is although only a couple of months old and doesn’t understand the language of his/her parents but when subjected to nice music responds to it in a loving and enjoyable way. Same way, even the adults who may not get the meaning of the lyrics that are different from their native language respond happily to just the tune and melody of the composition, ignoring the language of the lyrics. Keeping this in mind, we can actually use music to spread the love among people and eliminate the hatred.

At clasimogul.com we are doing this every day to put music to a good use and make it a medium through which we can spread the message of peace in the world. Even though this has been going on for a while now but we aim to make this viral. We aim to initiate a musical movement which can take over the hearts of people from all around the world. We want to do this by bringing in the talents from all around the world and showing that when everyone collaborates it always ends up in something good and worthwhile.

Music always influences the hearts of the people and this goes way back in time. Even in the past people use to play music to show joy and love on happy occasions. Music is without a doubt a way of bringing the world closer and can effectively eliminate differences. Music can reach past the barriers and all the restrictions. It is something that can never be controlled. Let it play!

Jang Keun Suk and Team H

Team H is an South Korean duo, consisted of the very acclaimed drama actor, Jang Keun Suk (‘’Beethoven Virus’’, ‘’You’re Beautiful’’, ‘’Love Rain’’, ‘’Pretty Man’’, among other dramas and movies), and his friend/producer/composer/rapper, Jung Kurt, also known as, Big Brother. Even though, they are both Korean, Team H writes and performs music in both Chinese and Japanese languages. The duo debuted officially with the track, ‘’Gotta Getcha’’, released in late September, 2011, along with their first Chinese mini-album, ‘’The Lounge H Vol.1’’.

Jang Keun Suk was already seen, by the Korean citizens, as a singer with his participation on drama/movies OSTs and CF themes. Singing in both Korean and Japanese, Jang Keun Suk, amazed fans with his amazing vocal ability. However, his first official solo single was the Japanese song, ‘’Let Me Cry’’, released in April, 2011. The track was a huge hit in the country, topping Japan’s Oricon single charts, by peaking at number one and selling 119,149 copies on its first week. It was the first time that a non-Japanese singer debuted at number one on that chart, so now you realize that Jang Keun Suk is very special and unique. Due to that merit, he also won the award for Best New Artist, in the 26th Japan Gold Disc Awards, back in January of 2012. Even though, Jang Keun Suk, doesn’t have any Korean CDs, he has two full albums in Japanese, titled, ‘’Just Crazy’’ (2012) and ‘’Nature Boy’’ (2013), respectively.

After such a big debut in Japan, the actor later teamed up with his good mate, Jung Kurt (aka Big Brother), to produce and release Chinese tracks. They chose to name themselves as ‘’Team H’’ due to the fact that they both attended the same college, which was the Hanyang University (hence the ‘’H’’ in the band’s name). Big Brother is a South Korean DJ, who collaborated with South Korean singer, Gummy, in the song ‘’Only One’’, last year. He produces, re-makes and writes almost all of the duo’s music, plus, he also knows how to rap, which is very common in K-Pop groups. Their discography includes a Chinese mini-album, ‘’The Lounge H Vol. 1’’, and two Japanese full-albums, ‘’Lounge H (The First Impression)’’ and ‘’I Just Wanna Have Fun’’, respectively. ‘’Gotta Getcha’’ was their first lead track and their official debut in China. It’s a song filled with attitude and packed with a strong beat and powerful rapping. The tune was written by Jang Keun Suk himself.

In the begining of January, 2012, it was reported that the duo was to release their first Japanese album, ‘’Lounge H (The First Impression)’’, which wasn’t a new version of ‘’The Lounge H Vol. 1’’, but instead a brand new CD with ten tracks, including Japanese redemptions of their famous tracks, ‘’Gotta Getcha’’ and ‘’Shake It’’. This album reflects more influence in rock genres and electronic music. Last year, they released their second Japanese album, ‘’I Just Wanna Dance’’.

The duo has received several awards. Their first Chinese EP gave Team H the winning of Best Selling Album and Best Korean Album, in the 2012’s 10th IFPI Hong Kong Record Sales Awards. That CD sold impressively well in places, such as, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

On June 25th, 2014, Team H released a new song (and MV) called “Take Me” which has English, Japanese and Chinese versions.

Still no information on a Korean debut, which fans are awaiting, and hoping it will come soon.

Anthony Evans Making His Voice Heard

If you watched NBC’s The Voice in February 2012, then you might be no stranger to Anthony Evans. Picked by Christina Aguilera as a member of her team, he wowed audiences the world over with a rendition of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” that fans of the show remember to this day. For Anthony Evans, that performance is just one of many.

Having started singing back in 2001 as a backup in Kirk Franklin’s ministry, the gifted singer/songwriter/worship leader traveled the world before deciding to pursue his own path. His growth was steady and sure, and he excelled at what he loved most; worship. His passionate voice has appealed to many, fans and artists alike, which meant more recording work. Life was busy, but good.

Competing on The Voice gave Anthony a chance to broaden his talent, and he took the project as a way to grow and learn. For him, the competition is part of his ministry and his purpose; to worship his Savior. It has worked well for him over the past decade, as he has worked with numerous other artists in the Christian music scene, including Yolanda Adams, Natalie Grant, Martha Munizzi, and Cindy Morgan, among many others.

Now releasing album number 7, titled Real Life/Real Worship, since he went solo, Anthony Evans continues to find new ways to make touching and inspiring tracks. As Christian Magazine puts it, “Real Life/Real Worship will be an album that fans of all Christian music genres can embrace and find common ground with. It is entertaining to listen, has great towering vocals and most importantly, a message that people need to hear.”

Since The Voice, Evans has garnered national acclaim as a talented singer, and has recorded tracks with industry big shots like Mariah Carey and CeeLo Green. He’s looking ahead to better things in the future, and he’s confident he has more to offer fans. His passion for worship music is unrivaled, and his desire to become even better unquestionable. Few artists can measure up to what he has been able to achieve, which is a testament to the hard work and effort he has put in. Most of all, he loves what he does, and that’s honoring his Savior in everything he does.

Peace Through music

When I was younger, I viewed the world as a huge place filled with diverse places and mysterious people. However, as I have gotten older I have come to realize what so many people do and that is that the world is far smaller than we would hope for it to be. Upon this revelation is always the trailing thought of “why can’t we seem to get along in a world so small?”. Wars and bickering have been going on since time began. Yet there must be a common ground in which people can come together in one accord and forget the differences that seem to dominate our cultures. To this I would say let the music play.

Music is a universal language that does not have to be determined by language, religion, race, or politics. Where it is true that every song tells a story, the messages found within music are universal. There have been several occasions where I have listened to music whose words are foreign to me because I loved the melody. Instrumentals need no words because the tone is set just with the instruments and artistry made by the player.

Today’s world will state that there is not a common ground that one has to be fully dedicated to the box of ideals and perceptions of the region in which he or she lives. We are encouraged to discourage change or a new way of thinking. Those whose opinions are given are quickly subjected to ridicule and social banishment. How then can there be any way to spread peace, if the world is so focused on keeping us diverse. There seems to be no muse for our voice. Yet, a voice can be made, a message can be heard. Since music is so universal in its scope why not embrace a message of love and peace? Think of how powerful a movement could be started if every language in every region started to proclaim peace within their music. The possibilities would be endless.

Think about your favorite song. What do the lyrics tell you? What does the melody say? Are we encouraging and uplifting each other with our talents, or are we tearing each other down. Peace through music focuses on inspiring musicians, listeners, and people in general to artistically and vocally sound a message of peace throughout the world. This is not a new concept. Artists have been intertwining the message of peace and getting along with one’s fellow man for years. However, the difference between intermingling and a bold stance is that classimogul is only concerned with spreading Peace through Music.

The goal of www.classimogul.com is to add a spark to the fuel, so that the idea of peace through music can take full bonfire life. Embracing all genres such as Christian, Classical, Kpop, Easy listening, Violinist, Rap, Italian, Spanish, and more, we hope that everyone can hear the message of peace regardless of their music listening preferences. Our music may be diversified but our message is the same. When we embrace the world and the cultures that live within it, we expand the door to our understanding, embrace and embellish our artistic uniqueness, and thrive. We may be different on the outside but our hearts remain the same. Give love and peace a try. Let the music play on.
