BREATHE!
The Los Angeles-Montreal choral project
to benefit mental health
“BREATHE!” is an international, community project, joining 140 singers from Los Angeles and Montreal in a choir-driven song & video. Its mission is to bring awareness to, and raise funds in support of mental health, both in the United States and Canada, as well as around the globe.
​
"Breathe!" was created by Celleste and Eric Dick, two artists originally from Montreal who made the jump to Los Angeles in 2017. With music at the heart of their careers, the pair always knew they wanted to combine their creative abilities with meaningful social activism.
​
​The lyrics to the song highlight the importance of breathing as a tool to help regulate our feelings of isolation, stress, anxiety, and fear. Its purpose is to serve as a helpful reminder that sometimes, what we really need to do is just stop and breathe.
​
Participants in "Breathe!" include Grammy winners and nominees, Juno winners and nominees, artists, musicians, couples, families, comedians, singers from such productions as “The Voice” and “Cirque du Soleil”, and actors from popular TV shows like "Full House", "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina", and Apple TV’s “Extrapolations”.
THE FOUNDATIONS
So many foundations around the globe are doing exceptional work to raise awareness, and funds in support of mental health. With "Breathe!", we decided to highlight two of those foundations, one in each city. Please visit them online and donate generously.

"Breathe!" was created by Celleste and Eric Dick, two artists originally from Montreal who made the jump to Los Angeles. With music at the heart of their careers, the pair always knew they wanted to combine their creative abilities with meaningful social activism. In 2023, Celleste and Eric won runner-up at the International Acoustic Music Awards for their acoustic duet version of “Breathe!”. A “Breathe!” EP is soon to be released in 2025, featuring various versions of the song.
A tribute to the hope and strength of the people, the beauty of the land, and the power to come back and rebuild.
“We Go On (California Strong)”, the song and video, were conceived and created by singer, songwriter and filmmaker Celleste, along with her partner, co-writer and music producer Eric Dick, with a single goal in mind: to raise money to benefit rebuilding efforts across California after the devastating wildfires of the past two years. To accomplish their goal, the two partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles to create the “WeGoOn” Fund. All proceeds donated to the fund, as well as sales of the song, will benefit Habitat for Humanity's work across California, with the specific goal of rebuilding homes, and communities lost or severely damaged by wildfires and natural disasters.
“We feel blessed to have met so many beautiful and courageous people who have done nothing but shine in the face of adversity” said Celleste. “Witnessing the strength and resiliency of this community first-hand has been truly inspirational.”
Give today and help rebuild homes and communities lost or severely damaged by wildfires and natural disasters
