"Music is the Answer," a charity founded by Carlos Diaz and his wife Maria Diaz with the mission to feed all students regardless of their ability to pay.  The story of the foundation began in 2020, when Carlos Diaz, a music producer, personal trainer and nutritionist with 40 years of experience, and his wife Maria Diaz, a retired police officer with 25 years of service, noticed the impact that music had on young people during the pandemic. They realized that music could be a powerful tool for social change and that it could bring joy, hope, and inspiration to those who needed it most.  Determined to make a difference, on 2/28/2023, Carlos and Maria decided to combine their passion for music and their desire to help others by creating a charity that would provide meals to students in need. They believed that no child should go hungry and that music could be the answer to this problem. 

   Music is the Answer is dedicated to ensuring that every student has access to nutritious breakfasts and lunches, regardless of their financial circumstances. We believe that no child should have to attend school on an empty stomach, as this can affect their ability to learn and succeed.  To achieve our mission, we organize music events that not only provide entertainment and enjoyment for attendees but also raise funds to support our cause. By bringing together people who share our commitment to improving the lives of students in need, we hope to create a community of support that can make a real difference in the lives of countless children.  Through our efforts, we strive to create a world where every child has access to the basic necessities they need to thrive, and where every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We believe that by working together, we can build a brighter future for all, and we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those who need it most.
