PROFESSOR ELEMENTAL
Hello there, thanks for stopping by. I’m Professor Elemental, award winning
Steam Powered Hip Hop emcee, former teacher and all round entertainer.
I’m mostly known for ridiculous videos like this, exuberant live shows and a series of
award winning albums, (with producer Tom Caruana)
THE CAMPAIGN
As an ex teacher and a performer, I’m only too aware of how
upsetting bullies and internet trolls can be, so I thought I’d make a song to promote positivity on the internet and show people that they aren’t
alone. It’s called 'Don't feed the trolls' and it's gone down well at shows all around the world this year.
Inevitably, as an independent musician, it comes down to the
money and time to do it justice….Then I had a brainwave- what if we raised the
funds through a campaign, gave away a ton of super prizes and then gave any extra money to local youth charities?
After we have reached our goals to create the video, any
further cash will be split between The Brighton Young People’s centre, Audioactive
and Ditch the Label. Each organisation is superb in its own right and all three
of them help to give local young people a voice. There’s information about each
charity linked below.
Ditch
The Label: http://www.ditchthelabel.org/
Audioactive: www.audioactive.org.uk
The
Young People’s Centre: http://impact-initiatives.org.uk/young-peoples-centre/
The video itself will be a beautiful, bright and shiny thing
which will show to the world how to stand up to bullies and how
to make the world a sunnier place. Directed by the brilliant Caroline Ianoli,
it will feature cameos from some brilliant artists and musicians in their own
right. Oh and quite possibly, YOU.
WHY SHOULD I GET INVOLVED?
As if the chance to help create something lovely and give to
charity weren’t enough, I am also giving away loads of prizes and exclusive
goodies that will only be available for this campaign. They include beautiful
exclusive prints by some of comicdom's finest artists, signed pith helmets, and bespoke raps, exclusive music and
much more. I’m even giving away my original fighting trousers to the highest
bidder!
Oh and if you bid over £50 you are also welcome to join us on
the day of the filming and can have a cameo appearance in the video.
So then, what are you waiting for? Come and join the party!
A very VERY big thank you for your support and for taking
the time to check out the campaign, it makes all the difference.
I’D LOVE TO HELP, BUT I SIMPLY DON’T HAVE A PENNY TO MY NAME.
Never fear! Whether you are able
to support us financially or not, you can still be a tremendous help to us by
spreading the word on this campaign via Facebook and twitter. My whole career
to date has been based on the kindness of people sharing my music and videos,
and this is no exception. Please share a link to this campaign and tell your
friends. It really does make all the difference in the world.
