Radiance is a group of upcoming artists who have committed their time and energy to singing and creating positive music. The group is comprised of six girls whose ages range from 7-9. Their names are Nia, Nals, Netani, Kerri, Kylie, and Karma. Radiance’s goal is to sing encouraging and motivating music, which gives young people hope and a sense of belonging. Their song “Mean Girls” was developed to tell the story of what it feels like to be bullied and expressing oneself in overcoming the challenges associated with being bullied. All of the girls have admitted to being bullied at least once; which creates a special connection with the song. The expectation is that all young people who hear “Mean Girls” will be impacted and encouraged to be part of the solution rather than the problem.

 Children can be cruel without knowing it; however should be aware of their actions at all times, as such behaviors can lead to others hurting themselves. The song “Mean Girls” will allow young people to think twice before making another person feel negatively about him or herself. Radiance plans on attacking this issue as well as many other issues that affect a young persons world. Music is a great way to get a message across to the public and serves as an excellent vehicle for communication. The music industry is populated today with so many negative messages; Radiance wants to provide a positive and trendy image for young people to follow. Children face real issues early on; therefore they must have real role models that they can relate to.
