MUSIC BIOGRAPHY
13 HANDS releases Grammy follow up EP alongside social, environmental and health initiative entitled, “YOU ARE WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND”
Grammy-nominated musician Daniel McBride, artistically known as 13 HANDS, has launched an initiative, entitled “You are What You Leave Behind” that partners solar and environmental companies, organic products, fair trade businesses, alternative health and medicine, yoga, fitness and health education projects to inspire everyone to believe they can make a difference. McBride, who goes by DALIEN, aims to expand the current yoga, health/personal empowerment and sound meditation programs in nursing homes, for autism, stress management for social service employees and drug abuse/stress prevention assemblies in public schools in NJ.
His personal motivation comes from a 20-year, near-death journey, surviving the effects of Head Trauma, the emotional turmoil of losing his father in a plane crash, Crohns Disease, Jaundice, Epstein Barr, Chronic Fatigue, Severe Depression, chronic respiratory problems and various, Endocrine/immune complications in his youth and early twenties.
Now at 38 coupled with an intense, crash course education in the human body, things have come full circle with this new EP and initiative. The music of 13 HANDS is a vehicle that contributes to the on-going development of these long-term, health programs.
Dalien states,
"We all serve a purpose and have a responsibility to one another, our children and future generations inheriting this planet… bottom line. I am trying to inspire others to embrace the idea that “YOU ARE WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND” regardless of the size or scope of your contribution – we are all contributors; not just celebrities, politicians and public figures. I feel a sense of optimism in the air and it personally feels exciting to be alive at this time in our history. New energy solutions, the collapse of the economy and dishonest business practices to be “hopefully” replaced with new ethical business models, Global Warming initiatives, a new President and the surge of more yoga in schools and in other health environments are just some of the beginning steps toward a more forward thinking, conscious world.
“I’m so very grateful for all the adversity I have faced; it has taught me not to take anything for granted and to live with integrity, gratitude and with honor. I am simply doing my part to inspire, help others and pay it forward.”
