“Child Soldier” is Boothe’s musical effort at giving a voice to the voiceless children across the world that are manupulated and physically “forced into the armed forces”. Written well over a year ago Boothe created the song after embarking on a nationwide human rights school tour. Inspired by everything he learned during that tour he went home, researched more about the issues and created this song for the people.
Since the Kony2012 campaign, much has been discussed and debated in the media as of late with regards to this global issue. Who is to blame? Where is this happening? How do we stop this? Who should we support? However, amist all the controversy, it’s important we not forget what our real concerns should truly be — the children.
Directed by Footage TV, and starring 10 year old KJ, the song and video speak from the perspective of a child soldier. The purpose of this video is to raise awareness and provoke thought. Please feel free to circulate broadly. We all have a part to play in the betterment of a world we all share.

This has some high and low parts but the heart is all there. RIP Whitney :(. Shouts to everyone involved. Here’s more info:
On February 11, 2012, Whitney Houston’s passing left a huge impact on the music industry. Fans and peers around the globe who adored her and admired her talent were left with a great feeling of grief as well as disbelief. Whitney Houston is an inspiration to many singers that strive to accomplish even a fraction of what she has accomplished in the span of her career.
To honour Whitney, the Love Always R&B performers and organizers (Nadine Hope and Sunny Diamonds) came together to record a tribute to ‘Greatest Love of All’, which we hope finds a place in the hearts of Whitney fans all over the world, and truly pays homage to the amazing voice and charismatic persona that Whitney shared with us all. In one epic day, over fifteen artists took to the Diamond Factory Studios booth under the vocal direction of Joe Louis and Quinn Maybach to each give the tribute a personal touch in honour of the late great Whitney Houston. Amongst the artists to put the record together were Honee Haye, Joe Louis, Hakeem, Tisha Jen, Ms Toya Diamond, Kayla, J’Soleil, Dwight Anderson, Alana Randall, Haley Small, Krystle Chance, Selah, Kay, Staasia Daniels, Recoia, Neza Da Songbird, and Mark McKay.
The video was directed by Cameraman Middy. The record was mixed and mastered by Sunny Diamonds at Diamond Factory Studios.
