Fil/Am Olympic Speedskater JR Celski's (@celskeet) dream comes to life through www.MADNW.org!

The birth of M.A.D. North West

by Anne Ong

Constantly talking about the beauty of the North West, promoting Seattle music/hip-hop; there's no doubt that JR Celski is one proud Seattle native. For months, fans have been speculating about a "concert" that JR had been planning to organize. Now the project, the concert, the artists are very much alive via MADNW.org!

Working alongside Dan Torok (director/producer), Celski and Dan will be bringing new light to Seattle Hip-Hop. The website features various stories of musical experiences Dan and JR have gone through. It also documents the progress of their concert.

M.A.D. North West will be hosting a benefit concert for Seattle's Children's Hospital. More details of the concert will be announced via MADNW.org!

Their mission:

M.A.D. Northwest’s Mission Statement

By madnw

Children are the future of our world. Together with artists who devote their time and talent to raising positive awareness in children through music, art, and dance we would like to coincide with the vision of the Seattle Children’s hospital by hosting the event of a lifetime that will raise funds to benefit children.

In the process we will be creating a feature length documentary about Seattle hip-hop, and asking the question, “are the fans really listening?”

All proceeds from this documentary will benefit the Seattle Children’s Hospital.
