South Florida residents, Jason Farmer, 20, and Jean Carlos Casely, 19, are two young guys trying to break into the music scene. A couple of weeks ago Farmer created the background musical track for a song dedicated to the victims of Katrina, and needed lyrics. He contacted Casely and in just a few hours Casely wrote the song.

The song, “Unsung Hero” is now being playing on the radio in South Florida and has gotten the boys some media attention. The song of hope includes lyrics such as:

…Work together, let’s unite, I have a feeling we’ll be fine.
Don’t dwell on the pain of yesterday…

…and ends with three simple words:

We will rise.

This song, which is really a nice tribute to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, may be a big stepping stone into launching Farmer’s and Casely’s careers. They are putting the publicity to good use by asking their fans to contribute to the Red Cross, the Casely website stating:

Hopefully, the music will assist the inspiration to give even more, whether its $1 you would spend on a can of soda or the $100.00 you were going to spend at the hairdresser this week.
