Rhett May (@RhettMay) – “The Violence of Ice”

Australian based Rock Singer-songwriter, Rhett May, is tackling his home country’s (and the rest of the world’s) Ice Epidemic head-on, with the release of his visually haunting and dark (but poignant) new music video, “The Violence Of Ice.” Rhett May uses his influential platform as a musician to spread a much needed message over beautifully placed guitar riffs, amazing vocals and stellar songwriting. You can watch this groundbreaking video on Youtube. The video and song recently won Beat 100’s Bronze/Best Song & Best Video Awards.

The video leaves you questioning yourself and your stance on drugs. It shows the dangers that come with the consumption and abuse of Ice and how it wrecks havoc on families, relationships and ultimately pulls apart the seams of a stable society. It is exceedingly rare to have a rock singer who has such a strong stance on the use of drugs, and that is exactly the point Rhett aims to make; that change is a necessity.

With a musical career that spans back to the seventies when his band Lucifer supported legendary rock band Queen, Rhett May is a voice of experience in a rock world which has become increasingly shallow. He has toured the world, seen the music industry from the inside and watched the dark side of the business consume those around him. Throughout those experiences Rhett May continually turned away the excesses of the Industry, choosing instead to write his own story as opposed to those who fell into the clutches of addiction.

Largely influenced by the classic songwriting of John Lennon, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, Rhett May is a rock singer who has moulded his own unique sound over several decades in the Industry. His self-produced music is simple and raw with plenty to say about May’s take on the modern world. It is this all inclusive method that spawned the motivational and much needed new music video “The Violence of Ice”.

Having spent a large part of his childhood in Calcutta, India, his guitar led songs are infused with the sounds of the Indian streets, giving his music a different flavor from the majority of current cookie cutter music. By blending classic sensibilities with a twist of Indian culture he has created a string of upcoming singles, the first of which is “The Violence of Ice”. The video for the track has received over 48,000 views to date on YouTube and the audio release will follow on October 2 in the UK/Australia, and on October 3 in the US.

His second single audio and video track, “Rich Bitch” were both released on August 21/22. See the video on YouTube and hear or buy the audio track on iTunes. Both tracks are part of his full length album “Fast Cars & Sitars” which will street on October 30 (UK & AUS) and October 31 (US).

SELECT INTERVIEWS ARE AVAILABLE — please contact Bernadette Giacomazzo/KBPR at 516-322-1101 or bernadette@bernadettegiacomazzo.com

SPEAKERS & PRESENTERS INCLUDE: Malik Yoba, Fat Joe, Grammy-award winner Commissioner Gordon Williams, Bollywood actress Shenaz Treasury, and actor/activist Hill Harper.

iconic32, the innovative studio and lifestyle company, in partnership with John Jay College of Criminal Justice (John Jay) and the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) – is excited to announce its first annual “Pop Culture Summit,” which will take place on Saturday, October 3rd in New York City on campus at John Jay College, located at 524 W. 59th Street.

The iconic32 Pop Culture Summit is a new and unique fundraising platform that will raise awareness and financial resources for various causes, while providing the space for conscious creatives across various pop culture disciplines (technology, fashion, film, music, art and sports) to come together to share knowledge and co-create alongside some of the most renowned influencers, celebrities and YouTubers/Viners/digital influencers – in order to explore the role of pop culture as a change agent for social good.

The Pop Culture Summit’s core audiences are Millennials and Gen Zers, including anyone that wants to get more deeply embedded and knowledgeable about these youth audiences. The Summit will host approximately 350 attendees and it will also be live streamed.

Award-winning actor, humanitarian and co-founder of iconic32 Malik Yoba will serve as the master of ceremonies – and will guide attendees through a one-day creative, spiritual and inspirational journey.

The day will consist of:
• Morning yoga and meditation session powered by KIND Snacks
• Film screenings (Time is Illmatic, Rubble Kings)
• Speakers & panels (POP talks)
• Performances (music, dance, theatre)
• Co-creation Workshops (art, music, digital /film, photography, fashion)
• A marketplace with several custom-made and customizable products
• Final performances: attendees present ideas & content developed during co-creation workshops

iconic32 co-founder Sergio Morales said, “The Pop Culture Summit is one of the ways that our company is bringing our value proposition to life, which is to use pop culture to spark social good. Pop culture is an incredibly power medium and is deeply embedded into many facets of our everyday lives.

Unfortunately, pop culture is oftentimes used and associated with negative issues, messages and images, which become front and center for our younger generations and society at large. We are swinging the pendulum by leveraging pop culture as a change agent for social good, and as a way to create and unite communities of socially-conscious creatives, particularly our younger generations, to demonstrate that pop culture can and should be both cool AND good. The Pop Culture Summit will also serve as incubator to launch the process of product ideas and content, and we will be the springboard for an evergreen platform for people from all walks of life to participate and contribute to the evolution of these ideas into actual product development and distribution.”

“With a student body committed to contributing to the public good as fierce advocates for justice, John Jay College is a fitting partner for the first Pop Culture Summit. We are excited to join with iconic32 to explore the ways pop culture can serve as an agent for change,” said Lynette Cook-Francis, Vice President for Student Affairs at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

“DYCD is proud to partner with iconic32 for this groundbreaking summit,” said Department of Youth and Community Development Commissioner Bill Chong. “Pop culture has a tremendous impact on the life decisions of our young people, and by connecting them with influencers and experts in the creative fields of tech, fashion, film, music, art and sports, we inspire our youth to consider potential career paths and discover new ways to bring about social change.”
