Music With a Mission

Our first priority is hiring qualified legal counsel.

I'm Jamar Davis, the producer behind Yahmiir. Through Miir Logistics, I’m building a recurring music program that brings established recording artists and music professionals together to release original music and support community work over time. We’re raising $890,000 across all Music With a Mission pages combined for the first-year plan. The first priority for campaign funds is qualified legal representation to put contracts, spending controls and revenue rules in place before we make major artist commitments.

How the Mission Works

I develop the instrumentals, lyrics, melodies and arrangements under the Yahmiir brand. The music already on Yahmiir.com introduces that production work and includes AI-assisted recordings. Music With a Mission would build on that catalog and new material by matching selected songs with skilled human performers who can bring the writing and arrangement to life. We plan to approach established artists through authorized representatives and work with their labels where required. We are planning for up to six collaborations and releases in the first funded year, subject to financing, rights clearance, interest and signed agreements.

For each release, we plan to agree on who is paid, how the recording can be used and what share of eligible future receipts will support an approved charitable organization. We’ll track sales and royalties, account to the people and organizations involved, and report what was actually paid. Then we can repeat that process for the next release. Today’s campaign contributions help build the legal and professional foundation; future music revenue is the intended source of the charitable share.

Legal Foundation

First, we seek qualified entertainment counsel with access to charity and fundraising compliance expertise. Counsel will help define who receives and controls project funds, what can be spent and when, who owns or licenses a song and its recording, how artist payments work, and how a verified beneficiary can receive and account for its share. Before making major artist commitments, we need written agreements, cleared funds and approvals for the specific project. We’ll negotiate performer fees song by song and document any ownership or royalties separately.

Charity Roster Application

We plan to invite charitable organizations to apply to join a roster for future releases and community projects. An authorized representative would explain whom the organization serves, the work it wants to support, how it would use a distribution, and how it can report results. We would verify eligibility and review each proposed match before signing an agreement. Applying does not guarantee funding, selection, public listing or a promotion obligation. Applications are not open yet.

Community Partnerships

Community centers and other local organizations could help identify needs, connect residents with services, host listening events or share approved releases and updates. A group can contribute as a community or promotion partner without being a funding recipient. We would agree on responsibilities, accessibility, costs and publicity in writing, and use names, logos and stories only with permission. Communities seeking support can propose a need through a participating organization or community center. We do not promise individual payments or ask people to publish private information to be considered.

Professional Opportunities

We intend to build a network of attorneys, accountants and royalty administrators, producers, engineers, session professionals, music supervisors, distributors, promoters, managers and label representatives. Future invitations will identify the scope, qualifications, available funding and whether a role is paid, volunteer or proposed. Expressing interest does not create a job, contract or representation arrangement. The first professional priority is counsel; later roles depend on the work we can fund and approve.

Artist Collaborations and Recognition

We want to match songs with performers who can deliver them substantially as written where the collaboration allows. Fees, recording ownership or licenses, royalties, credits and release approvals are negotiated with the people and organizations who hold the rights. A performer may receive a recording royalty or a negotiated ownership interest; songwriting and publishing credits depend on authorship and applicable agreements. Supporters may suggest artists once we open a nomination process. A nomination is a suggestion, not a booking, vote for a binding decision or an endorsement. We’ll credit participants in the release and recognize their work publicly only as authorized. No established artist, label, attorney or charity is announced as a confirmed partner in this plan.

Financial Transparency

Contributions through the various Music With a Mission pages count toward one $890,000 gross goal. The $857,300 first-year operating plan is an estimate. It includes $30,000 for counsel and contracts, $15,000 for community-benefit setup and reporting, and a $300,000 conditional reserve for artist fees or advances. The reserve assumes six possible engagements for budgeting; no artist rate is set. Processing fees and usable proceeds depend on the channels used and actual payouts.

We intend to report campaign receipts and fees together across platforms, what we spend by category and which milestones are funded. Music sales and royalties will be accounted for separately from campaign contributions. A single sale and a full album sale are distinct transactions, and streams earn royalties separately. Before advertising a specific charitable benefit, we will disclose the eligible release, recipient, share, calculation basis, any deductions, timing and reporting terms. Only receipts we are entitled and authorized to allocate can fund the charitable share. We’ll report actual distributions separately from commitments.

Campaign contributions support the commercial development of Music With a Mission through Miir Logistics. They do not purchase royalties, ownership, repayment, artist access or a guaranteed release, and are not represented as tax-deductible. Ordinary Yahmiir store purchases are commercial sales. No existing store sale is presented as triggering a charitable payment.
