Songs for Life, Supporting Cancer Research — Please Vote for Giovanna Imbesi’s “Hush”

While recovering from surgery for carcinoid cancer in 2006, Giovanna Imbesi used her amazing talents to compose “Hush,” featuring Toni Peete.  The song, says Giovanna, was created to “inspire peacefulness and quiet in the midst of frightening medical diagnoses, surgery, and facing the unknown of cancer treatment. The lyrics were inspired by a very special nurse who was part of my healing team and the song is dedicated to her, Adriana Arienti.”  Giovanna has donated “Hush” to Songs for Life to help raise awareness of carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cancers.

 

 

 

Songs for Life is a new contest to support cancer research.  “Artists donate original or cover songs over a two month period, then friends, family and fans vote on their favorite songs. After the final selection by a judging panel, winners will record their final versions to be compiled and mastered onto the Songs for Life 2015 album. All proceeds from the album will be donated to the CrowdCare Foundation, a non-profit organization.”

Voting is taking place through Facebook through November 30.  The top 20 songs by Facebook Likes will be sent to the judges who select the winners.  The judges are high profile music industry professionals including celebrity artists and music journalists. Winners will be announced on December 15, 2014.
