FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING LEGENDS COME TOGETHER TO “SPREAD SMILES” AND STAY WELL

Sixty international artists including Chick Corea collaborate on music video spreading message around the world to spread a smile and #StayWell

Seattle, WA—April 30, 2020—As individuals and institutions the world over face unprecedented challenges, Grammy Award-winning music legends teamed up to help spread a smile and stay well.

The result is the music video “Spread a Smile,” a modern-day “WE ARE THE WORLD,” that has already hit over 5 million views, generating an international following across more than 100 nations.

The Church of Scientology Seattle is a voice among those millions making that message heard across the Pacific Northwest.

Along with providing help with needs in our local communities such as food supplies and face masks, this is an uplifting message that we can make available right now when so many people are isolated,” said Rev. Ann Pearce of the Scientology Church in Seattle. “You really can’t help but smile when you hear this unique music, so we are getting this out to as many people as we can. All you have to do is click, watch and spread a smile.”

The music video inspiration and now internet sensation features Grammy Award-winning legends such as Chick Corea – a Seattle jazz favorite - Stanley Clarke, Mark Isham and David Campbell among an array of 60 international artists.

This uniquely inspired collaboration comprises an ensemble filming from their homes around the world. Artists participated from New York, Los Angeles, Bogotá, Milan, Melbourne, Cape Town and more than a dozen other cities across Europe and the United States.

“Spread a Smile” tells viewers that, even if you’re stuck at home, you can lift the world up by spreading positivity. It’s a message harmonized throughout the video by Smash Mouth’s Greg Camp, radio and television personality Kerri Kasem, Australian icon Kate Ceberano, Chilean singer-songwriter Alberto Plaza, Argentine star Diego Verdaguer, Israeli guitarist extraordinaire David Broza, Cuban-born bass virtuoso Carlitos Del Puerto, Idols South Africa star Tebogo Louw and Colombian actor-comedian Andrés López.

Written and produced by Scientology Media Productions, “Spread a Smile” is about the power of togetherness, even in a time when we’re all apart. The video further raises awareness about basic prevention and wellness resources available at the How to Stay Well Prevention Resource Center. The center provides materials, including PSAs, booklets and signage—all downloadable for free online at Scientology.org/StayWell.

Even though we are all keeping our distance, we are all in this together.
