About Me

NYAKA AIDS ORPHAN SCHOOL
IN UGANDA
This video was created by Chris Singer from Lansing, MI. He recently visited this school in Uganda. The photos in the video are from his trip. They are taken of children who have been ophaned by the AIDS Epidemic in Africa. These are a few of millions. The song in this video is called "Live True". It is track 5 on my new album To Begin Again. I am honored to share this song with Chris, who dedicates his life to this badly needed work. Learn more about Nyaka by visiting http://www.nyakaschool.org
Chris Dorman, from Lansing, is a musician, a father, and a friend to the community. His songs are gentle, honest and strong. He writes about his friends, his family and his feelings and reflects upon the intrinsic value within a local culture that cannot be quantified or commoditized. He hopes his sounds will nurture and inspire all who hear them to appreciate that which is unique to them. So what is unique to him, you ask? Chris dreams of being an old man who tells funny stories over and over again even though he knows everybody already knows the punch line.
