Beverly Hills, CA (Top40 Charts/ Skyler Jett Official Website) Skyler Jett, world renowned musician, writer and composer, today announced that with music as the cornerstone, his future focus will be centered squarely on bringing awareness to peace and environmental issues. To lead this mission, Jett is pleased to announce that Pat Melfi will join the team as its architect and Manager. Melfi, himself committed to bringing about social change through music, is a five-time 'Promoter Of The Year' award-winner. Melfi also counts among his closest friends, Ken Kragen, who organized the incredibly successful project, 'We Are The World'. Melfi is also known throughout the recording industry for his tour management of Tom Petty, The Eagles, Rolling Stones, Meatloaf, Vince Gill,
Rod Stewart and Bad Company. More recently, Melfi managed the day-to-day careers of Grammy Award-winning artists Juice Newton, Collin Raye and Rebecca Lynn Howard. Skyler Jett is as unique as the music he composes. Recognized as a music industry mainstay, with contributions to more than 2000 recordings, his resume offers a glimpse into his most impressive career, including his contributions to major artists such as Stevie Wonder, Patti Austin, Luther Vandross, The O'Jays, The Commodores, Whitney
Houston Barbara Striesand, Elton John,
Kenny G to name a few. Skyler is an award-winning vocalist, recognized by The Grammy's for his vocal participation on the 1998 block-buster Record Of The Year 'My
Heart Will Go On', the highest grossing theme song from the film Titanic, with pop star Celine Dion.
As lead vocalist, Skyler Jett replaced Lionel Richie in the group The Commodores, and for those two years, toured 31countries with what is one of the world's all-time most recognizable R&B groups.
Today, Skyler stays "connected" to the movie and pop culture, but his focus is now on a much larger stage, with much grander social and environmental implications. On the same piano which authored so many unforgettable songs, Jett's heart now turns to raising the curtain - through music - on issues which directly affect every single one of us: cancer, abstinence, anti-violence, education, suicide prevention, homelessness and the environment. With his renewed social commitment and with his own song, 'Peace Is The Answer"' to headline the message, Skyler Jett is now reaching out to our country's mayors and other political representatives with this simple but poignant communication: if each of us can embrace the idea and walk hand-in-hand in unison, agreement and focus, every person, neighborhood, community and city can make a significant difference by helping to eliminate all forms of violence and in turn recognize that literally, "Peace Is The Answer".
As this new effort gains momentum and so many more join Skyler in these impressive and comprehensive efforts, his new manager, Pat Melfi, will support the social mission by directing his career and making him available for speaking engagements, concerts and festivals to spread the word that, 'Peace Is The Answer'.
