"That moment showed me music isn't just something we enjoy — it's something that connects and uplifts."
I've always been curious about how music affects people. I've been singing since I was a little kid, and I fell in love with how it could shift the way I felt.
Two summers ago, while performing at an autism school in India, I saw that impact in a new way. Students who were initially quiet began singing, smiling, and moving with the music — nothing was planned, it just happened.
That moment showed me music isn't just something we enjoy, it's something that connects and uplifts. That's what led me to start Medolies.
Medolies is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the power of music into communities through performances at care facilities and preschools, as well as mentorship programs in schools and care centers — creating meaningful music experiences that support wellbeing and connection.
Medolies aims to change lives through the power of music — bringing people together, fostering joy and connection, and promoting wellbeing in every community we reach.
Medolies is entirely student-led — founded and run by young people who believe in the power of music to create real, lasting change in their communities.
Music has a way of reaching people that words sometimes can't — creating moments of connection, expression, and joy. Seniors and young people are too often isolated from consistent opportunities like this. We bring music into those spaces to build real connection and a sense of belonging.
From India to the United States, Medolies has built a network of passionate volunteers and reached tens of thousands of lives through the power of live music and mentorship.
We've been featured in local media for our work bringing music to communities across the US and India.
Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply spread the word — every action moves our mission forward.
