Everyone deserves music.

Michael Franti
San Francisco has always been a haven for misfits and weirdos. I'm both of those, which is why I came here.
Michael Franti

Michael Franti
When we all see justice, then we'll all see peace!
Michael Franti
Power to the peaceful!
Michael Franti
Be as radiant as the sun, as healing as the rain, as generous as a tree.
Michael Franti
A lot of times we look at the whole world and think, 'it's so daunting, how can we change the whole world?' and you don't need to do that, what you need to do is change your world a little bit, and see if you can, through example, inspire others to do the same thing.
