Sustainability is a source of inspiration for Drink More Tap artist Sonni Shine, whose music has been showcased on WXPN, WMMR, WKDU, and Radio 104.5.
The New Jersey native, who fuses R&B with funk, jazz, and folk, was also uncertain about drinking tap water while growing up. But after moving to Philly for college, Shine, a vocalist, guitarist, and producer, was compelled to switch to tap, understanding that consuming single-use bottled water can be a wasteful habit.
In her new song, Shine’s environmental zeal is expressed through bluesy strums on an electric guitar accompanied with lyrics:
Rather than waste, and clog up the trash/with plastic material built to last…
(Philly) turn on the tap/ (Philly) drink it back...
For Shine, who served as front-woman for local reggae-fusion band The Underwater Sounds, reducing plastic in our waterways was a key reason why she wanted to join Drink More Tap, fervently feeling that music has the capacity to make a difference — within ourselves and across the world.
“I think that music and art hit us in a different part of our body, in a different part of our brain where...we become more open to hearing and receiving new ideas or new perspectives,” Shine says. “Because, music kind of just naturally opens us up, and art, as well, like looking at a piece of art. It’s just turning on a different part of your brain. I think it’s also more heart-oriented instead of head-oriented. So, instead of, ya know, reading the facts and thinking with your logical mind, you’re opening up your heart to a piece of music. So, yeah, I firmly believe that music can change the world.”
She further developed tap water assurance after absorbing information that set the foundation for Drink More Tap, including research conducted with the Water Department and the University of Pennsylvania. - Grace Maiorano, @PhillyH2O Blog
