Power of Love Project

Steff Reed is an artist with a huge heart and capacity to give.
But In order to give back, We must grow and sustain.

But we need your support to do so.

He is unafraid to be vulnerable and open in his own story, sharing lessons of resilience, healing, self-betterment. Reed blends genres of folk rock, alternative rock, pop rock to culminate in inspirational, humanitarian messages.
Over the years, Reed has gained national acclaim as a producer and song-writer having worked with the likes of Trey Songz, Jhene Aiko, Eric Roberson, Swizz Beatz, Kenny Lattimore and Gordon Chambers on songs that made it to the Billboard Charts.
As an Educator, Reed has taught thousands of youth between the ages 4-24 over the last 15 years. In 2013, he was nominated for the GRAMMY Music Educator Award and taught a “Power of Love” workshop at NYU/Ed Sullivan Fellows.
Reed is currently building a Brooklyn-based non-profit, Power of Love, in partnership with Judson Memorial Church. His latest music project is of the same name. By using his social capital and influence, Reed is scaling his impact to empower wider audiences and impact real political change.
The Power of Love Project is a NYC based non-profit empowering the community and driving social justice through the power of music. PoL offers youth mentorship, mutual aid, and community events with a focus on political activation.
Founded in 2020 by Steff Reed, the Power of Love Project has been years in the making. Reed is paying forward his hard work in the music industry to serve the New York community directly.
The work im doing is unique because, I am the one doing it. I live in the community I serve. The work I do is innovative because I am on the ground witnessing the injustice, inequality, and challenges my community and people face. I am able to respond and support from a place of empathy, compassion, and understanding.
In partnership with Judson Memorial Church as an in-kind venue space, the Power of Love Project will host virtual and in-person community events focused on political activation.
