    Music by America's Veterans We are proud to announce the release of Unsung Heroes, a collaboration between America’s combat veterans and APM songwriters. Unsung Heroes was born out of the experiences of veteran Richard Casper whose moving story led him to dedicate his life to helping other wounded veterans through the healing power of music through an organization he co-founded, (www.creativets.org). Working together, an American veteran and an APM songwriter write a song inspired by the veteran’s wartime experience and they share songwriting credit and reve- nues from licensing of their music by APM. This first release includes nine powerful songs with both vocal and non-vocal versions. We hope you will be inspired to find a place for these songs in your productions. A percentage of APM’s profits are donated to CreatiVets.

Living in the present, we ceaselessly search for directions to our future in moments from the past. For Derrick Harvin, the answers of tomorrow may be out of reach, but they can be seen from where he stands. These answers may not always be clear, but Harvin has learned to discover them through hues of color, impressions of imagery, and sounds of emotion. With his debut solo project, From Here, Harvin captures these aspects of the future by creating an artistic journey of self-exploration, sharing a masterpiece that transcends him from a musician to an artist and transforms a past of doubt into a present of hope. Harvin has always found his life’s passion in musical expression, though most of his successes have been achieved behind the scenes. A renowned producer, Harvin has written, produced, and engineered contemporary projects for stars of various genres, including 50 Cent, Hilary Duff, Chaka Khan, Natasha Bedingfield, Betty White, and Kevin Cossom. After graduating from Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida, Harvin produced at Battery Studios in New York, where he gained the attention of Grammy Award-winning producer Vada Nobles and was offered a multi-year publishing deal with Noble’s company, New Ark Entertainment. With this company, Harvin co-wrote and produced Duff’s single, “Stranger,” with American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, and he also co-produced and engineered additional songs on Duff’s Dignity project.
