p2pnet.net News:- Music downloads can make a huge, positive difference not only to musicians, but also to people in dire need – street kids, for example.

The indie-flavoured Royalties Group exclusively hosts artists who donate a portion of their music revenue to charities and social causes and one such is LA-based Orris.

With that in mind, it’s donating 10% of its royalties to the Jeff Griffith Youth Center, an organization that gives runaways an alternative to the streets of Hollywood.

“You can only drive past 15- year-old kids selling themselves on the corner so many times before it really starts to break your heart,” says singer/songwriter David Orris.

Located in the heart of Hollywood, the Jeff Griffith Youth Center delivers both short and long term assistance to the runaway population aged 15-23. Its services range from providing immediate care in the form of hot meals, showers and a safe place to sleep to the more complex services including job training and counseling.

An interview with Orris, as well as the band`s track White Light, are available here.

If you know of an artist, “who has great music and donates some of the royalties to a good cause,” get in touch, asks Royalties founder and indie singer/songwriter Elizabeth Pendleton.
