Music Videos are one of our great loves at Aspire Street because they let us put our creativity where our heart is. There's a freedom in telling a story when you're telling it with a song. So we like to push the boundaries by combining an artist's performance with images and storylines that passionately reflect who they are and what their music really means.
In our own indie music projects, Michael Angelo Colgan got together with Country artist Jim 'JP' Pirinelli to create songs that speak to the heart and soul of the American experience. Recording at GCR studios in Buffalo NY, Michael and JP have crafted music that honor the extraordinary lives and loves of ordinary people.
Inspiring children to dream — and achieve their dreams — is one of the core values with our book projects. Aspire Street's MAC & Holly have teamed up to produce Children's Books that feature Holly's gentle and imaginative watercolors with Michael's simple but thoughtful words.
The Dream Box picture book is a true-life immigrant story that's also told through a Country song and music video. The song delivers a magical message, and the music video shows a story that is straight-on Frank Capra meets Hit Country. The Dream Box book encourages children to dream and achieve — with an understanding that being different doesn't matter — and that our dreams have a life of their own.
Michael Angelo Colgan PhD is an award-winning social scientist who used to be a stand-up comic opening for headliners like Tim Allen and Jerry Seinfeld.
