Artist x Ocean Conservation
Released on World Ocean Day in June 2023. The popular song. 'Power In Us' by Anderson Rocio, donates 100% of its streaming revenue to three carefully chosen organizations dedicated to ocean conservation; Mission Blue, Ocean Generation and Live Ocean. 'Power In Us' began as a heartfelt tribute to the Earth, a song inspired by those working tirelessly to protect it.
"My career as an artist and songwriter has taught me how powerful music can be. So I figured, it’s about time I put that power to use. This song serves as a reminder that the power to make the transformative change our planet so desperately needs, lies within each of us." - Anderson Rocio
