What problem are you solving?
We are solving the problem of violent messages being broadcasted through our communities

Why is this problem important to you personally?
Violence has become widespread, to the point where many people have become desensitized to it.  We want our communities to be about love and peace.

How does your organization solve this problem?
OX Music is a peace based record label.  We use music to spread the message of peace and non-violence.

What is the long term goal of your organization?
Our long term goal is to market our music and our message of peace to people throughout Philadelphia and eventually to other cities, until the message of peace drowns out the message of violence.

How has Startup Corps helped you?
