About Me

View Don Amero's EPKI am a singer/songwriter and have been doing this for the last 10 years. On October 13th/ 2006 I released my first CD titled "Change your life". I have the best support here in my hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba. I am absolutely in love with playing music. I can't wait for the day that I can live and play music all the time.My vision is to inspire and encourage others to take better care of the world and ourselves! I think we're in a time where we still have an opportunity to make some things better, but that window is closing fast. You see and hear about it everyday, Global Warming, Pollution, Poverty, the diminishing natural resources, Extinction of a lot of the worlds wildlife... the list goes on. Don't just sit there and wait for someone else to make things better. The little things we can do from where we're at can have huge results. The little things we do are worth it.For me one little way is to reduce the amount of plastic bags we use on a daily basis, so instead of putting money into T-shirts I put it towards cloth bags. (Check out www.reusablebags.com for more on how plastic bags are choking our world!).I believe music is power and I hope to use my powers to help make this world a better place! (That really sounded quite nerdy didn't it, but I guess it's true!)I want to live my life knowing that I am doing the best I can to live a good life and make this world as good as it can be for the generations to come.
