Playing For Change is a movement created to inspire, connect and

bring peace to the world through music. In 2005, producer Mark

Johnson created the concept of the Songs Around The World by

uniting together musicians from many different countries and cultures

performing on the same track. Mark and a small crew traveled across 5

continents with a mobile recording and cameras with the vision to build

a global family through the power of Music. The first song released

was a version of Stand By Me featuring over 35 musicians from 10

countries who had never met in person... Since then, this international

version of Stand By Me has been viewed over 100 Million times online.
