GSC News to Encourage, Equip and Empower
GSC member Troy Castellano and his incredible non-profit, Instruments For Education, are spreading joy once again! Their mission to collect unused musical instruments and donations to spread the gift of music to local schools is truly inspiring.
Just last month, they delivered instruments to the kids at Highland Rim School in Fayetteville, TN. Check out this heartwarming letter of gratitude from the students!
👉 If you would like to donate and help grow education in music, check out their website for more info! www.instrumentsforeducation.org

This is so much better than those instruments sitting in a closet. What a gift!
You rock Troy!

GSC member AJ Raggs took the stage in Times Square on September 21 for the International Day of Peace, and it was an unforgettable experience! He performed his amazing song “My Kind of People,” co-written with fellow GSC members Josie Bisto, Meagan Allen, and Scott Barrier. He is pictured here with GSC's BRENNA! @brennamusicofficial
AJ had the opportunity to connect with influential members of the United Nations and network with some incredible talents in the music industry.
Huge congratulations to AJ for this amazing achievement! Check out the highlights from the event on his Linktree, Facebook or Instagram pages! linktr.ee/ajraggs @ajraggs

GSC's Ceri Earle is an award-winning writer and songwriter and has written for a living for more than fifteen years. She’s held communications positions in a variety of industries, both agency and in-house, and her articles have been published in a cross-section of publications.
But songwriting (and music) is the love of her life, and she’s always honing her lyrical skills and coming up with ideas and title twists for co-writes. Here are some of her songwriting accolades:
- Co-writer on Jon Pardi's 2023 Christmas album, *Merry Christmas From The Keys*.
- Songs featured on CBS's *All Rise* and multiple Christmas movies.
- Multiple cuts and singles from independent artists (see Ceri Earle on Spotify)
- Overall Winner of the Great American Songwriting Contest.
- Winner of the International Song Contest.
- Finalist in several prestigious contests, including American Songwriter 2023, USA Christmas Song Contest, and NSAI CMT Songwriting Contests.
- Seasoned collaborator with Nashville songwriters such as Brian White, Riley Roth, Victoria Banks, Jeffrey East, Lo Miller (Malibu Babie), Steve Dean, and others.
- Proficient in Disco and a member of AIMP, CMA, and GSC.
- Maintains a diverse catalog ready for pitch in Country, Pop, and TV/Film/Marketing.
When she's not songwriting or working as a Senior Customer Experience Advisor for Warby Parker, you’ll find Ceri out supporting her artist/cowriters around town, hiking, line- and country swing dancing, or training for her next road race (or guiding a differently-abled runner through Achilles). Ceri moved to Nashville in May 2022 for the love of music and Music City, and is working tirelessly on building her catalog and songwriting career.
