Celebrity Concert at Unity of Mesa

Unity of Mesa is hosting a PosiPalooza! concert at 7 p.m., February 3. There’s a new genre of music that’s message-based and meant to empower, unite and transform one’s life. It comes in every style from folk to rap. It’s called “posi”, as in posi-tive music; some of its stars are Grammy and Emmy award winners and multi-platinum hit songwriters that have decided to use their songwriting “super powers” to help create a world that works for everyone.

Three Posi-Award winning artists will appear on stage together, swapping songs and inspiring stories in an up close and personal musical experience. Harold Payne has written hits for Rod Stewart, Patti Labelle, the Temptations, Bobby Womack, Peter Paul and Mary, and Snoop Dog. Freebo has played the bass for for Bonnie Raitt, Ringo Starr and Neil Young. Richard Mekdeci is an award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and co-founder of emPower Music & Arts, the small company at the epicenter of the Posi-Music Movement (EmPowerma.com).
