How this came about:
It’s Happening” was recorded June 4, 2018, with students from the Sifton Elementary School Choir. Sifton Elementary is a school in North Edmonton where some students come from war-torn countries and traumatizing and/or impoverished situations. The funding of this recording was made possible via an anonymous donor who saw the students and AV perform at a school fundraiser May 4, 2018. The donor was so moved and inspired by the performance of the song that he immediately asked how it could be immortalized by a studio recording of it. A week later he graciously provided the funding for this endeavor. A month to the day after their debut performance, the students, AV, and her Producer and Videographer Tino Zolfo (Poppa Champagne) were in the recording studio recording the song and making a music video for it. None of the students had been in a recording studio prior to this date, but have since inspired many people with their talent, hope, and enthusiasm for this venture. AV and all involved in the making of this video would like to thank everyone for listening and being part of this experience.

You are one of the best artists I have discovered in the past years. Keep up the great work

A truly legendary song. Thanks Ann.

Great Job Ann and kids. I am giving a speech this coming month to a local men's group here in Nova Scotia about this same topic, Racism is all around us and with more and more foreign families settling it is getting to be a hot topic and a common problem. I believe that God loves all of his children the same and there is no room for hate so we need to be the change and make the difference by leading by example.
