As some people will be aware, today (February 21st 2026) is the first day of a week-long charity event I’m running, raising money for two charities: War Child and CALM.
From Feb 21st through to the end of Feb 27th, I will be selling exclusive compilations of my recent music previously released across many different aliases as part of the Jamaraz Music Universe.
This compilation is called “Across My Universe”, and after the 27th, it will never be available on physical formats again.
As mentioned, this limited-time sale is raising money for two charities; War Child and CALM. 100% of all the profit I make from this campaign will be donated directly to them, split 50/50 between them.
Here’s an extract from an email I sent to my mailing list last night explaining a bit about each charity:
War Child
You may have heard of them especially recently as they’re doing a big collaborative album with a bunch of big music names like Arctic Monkeys and Depeche Mode etc.
Slightly annoyed they didn’t ask me to contribute… but oh well :-)
War Child is a charity that helps to improve the living conditions of children in war-torn environments, regardless of their location or which “side” they’re on, because realistically, the children are the ultimate victims of the horrors of war, and they can do the least to help themselves, which is why I think supporting a charity like War Child is important.

CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)
CALM is a mental health charity with a focus on preventing suicide, regardless of age, race or gender.
Supporting CALM means a lot to me, because while I haven’t been a child trying to survive in a warzone, I have suffered from some serious mental health issues, and I know how horrible it is to feel like ending it might be the only answer.
Spoiler alert: it isn’t!
I was lucky enough to make it out of that dark tunnel, and I can only hope that by supporting CALM, they can help more people out of their darkness too :-)
