Join Us in Observing National Gun Violence Awareness Month

In support of National Gun Violence Awareness Month, we are proud to release "Remedy," a profound song and video written and performed by Maria McMillan and Kendall Robbins.

The Inspiration Behind "Remedy"

Maria and Kendall, students at USC, were deeply affected by the tragic Uvalde Robb Elementary School shooting. During a songwriting session on a school trip to London, they felt a powerful need to channel their emotions and hopes for change into music. The result was "Remedy," a song that speaks to the heart and calls for a brighter, safer future.

About the Artists

Maria McMillan and Kendall Robbins are not just talented musicians but also passionate advocates for change. Their collaboration on "Remedy" is a testament to their dedication to using their art to raise awareness and inspire action.
