David Musial first discovered Hopeline by receiving an email from the founder, requesting the use of his music video/song "Don't Go Away", which is about teen suicide. The song suggests that if you need a friend, let me be your "lyrical friend" and wait another day, "Don't Go Away". David granted permission and also gave Hopeline another song "Today Is The Day" by Brady Cudmore, an amazing 18 year old who is with his Smart Trax Media company. Brady is now the Hopeline "Teen Ambassador" for his home country of Canada. David hopes that musical art from his ventures, helps people to appreciate the joy life.
