Community voices from Sunnyhill are transformed into original music, celebrating belonging, inclusion, and creative storytelling in St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, May 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sunnyhill has released a new original music project now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and TikTok that transforms the voices, stories, and lived experiences of its community into a musical collection centered on belonging, inclusion, and connection.
The project brings together individuals supported by Sunnyhill, family members, staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners, translating their stories and perspectives into original songs that reflect the organization’s mission and impact. Rather than a traditional marketing initiative, the release serves as a creative expression of community identity.
“This project is about voice, visibility, and belonging,” said Laura St. George, Director of Development & Marketing at Sunnyhill. “It reflects the people who make Sunnyhill what it is every day; their stories, their energy, and their sense of connection. Turning that into music felt like a natural extension of our mission.”
The project was developed through a blend of community storytelling and creative production tools, allowing Sunnyhill to expand the ways these voices could be expressed and shared. This approach helped bring forward a fuller, more accessible musical experience that might not have been possible through traditional production methods alone.
At its core, however, the project remains rooted in human experience and storytelling.
“This is still about people first, their voices, their experiences, and what they want to express,” Dee Coleman, Sunnyhill Events & Marketing Specialist
Sunnyhill also welcomes collaboration from local and regional artists. “If artists in our community feel inspired to contribute or create music with us, we would love that support. This is an open invitation to keep building on what community storytelling can sound like.”
The release also coincides with Give STL Day, a regional day of giving that highlights the impact of nonprofits across the St. Louis area. Sunnyhill’s project serves as both a creative milestone and a celebration of community generosity and collective impact.
The music is available now on:
Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/1XwSvN0FshCelKyrTb6LaM?si=lSCiL-XKTDWHOJiHaE6vHA)
Apple Music / iTunes
TikTok
Sunnyhill encourages supporters to listen, share, and engage with the release as part of a broader effort to elevate the voices of individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities and the communities that support them.
If supporters did not participate in Give STL Day, Sunnyhill invites them to join its Radiant Society, a donor community supporting ongoing programs, services, and emergency assistance for individuals supported by the organization.
