CHRISTIAN MUSIC
Songwriters Uniting for Charity
Some of Christian music's top songwriters plan to collectively write 10 to 12 songs and donate the copyrights to charity.
Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Paul Baloche and Darlene Zschech are among the artists who will gather for a songwriting retreat next month in Scotland. Martin Smith, lead singer for the Christian band Delirious, is organizing the project.
Half of each song's proceeds will go to the songwriter's charity of choice and the other half to a yet-to-be-determined charitable program agreed on by all the writers. The copyright holder will be Compassionart, an organization that Smith created as a conduit to the charities.
