Philanthropy

During the height of the pandemic, Ray Chew, alongside his wife and business partner, Vivian Scott Chew, produced a compelling four-part series on Facebook Live, spotlighting notable artists and personalities. This series not only provided entertainment and inspiration during challenging times but also served a vital purpose: raising funds for the American Federation of Musicians.

Each episode featured engaging discussions and performances, showcasing the talent and resilience of musicians facing unprecedented challenges. With their extensive network, The Chews brought together a diverse array of guests, including celebrated musicians, producers, and industry insiders, who shared their experiences and insights.

Their text-to-give campaign raised funds raised through this initiative that provided much-needed assistance to musicians struggling to navigate the financial fallout from the pandemic, showcasing Chew’s dedication not just to music, but to the welfare of those who create it.

BUILDING BRIDGES WHILE CULTIVATING TALENT

Since 2013, the 501c3 non-profit Power 2 Inspire Foundation has empowered young, aspiring musicians and future leaders in the music industry

We foster opportunities for talented musicians, singers, songwriters, and business executives who share a passion for creating “Music with a Heart”. Through workshops, lectures, and masterclasses, we reinforce the values of preparation and resilience.

While Power 2 Inspire was founded in 2013, during the pandemic in 2020 the Chew’s expanded the program into a major virtual summer mentorship and internship experience for young creatives between the ages of 18-25 interested in pursing a career in the music industry. 6 years later, Power 2 Inspire has become recognized as a meaningful pipeline for emerging music talent – especially young creatives who may not otherwise have had direct industry access.
