About The Ever After Project
With 'The Ever After Project' Demet & Michel want to contribute to making our world a better place, by supporting various different causes, using art and music.
The idea of The Ever After Project was born in the beginning of 2016. Michel recorded 'A Letter from Dreamland - First Snow will fall Tonight' for Imara Ilayda, Demet's and Michel's niece of six years old. She was taken to the hospital in November 2015. After a sickbed of a few weeks she died of liver failure. Michel wrote this song with the hope that she would get better and that she would be home for Christmas time. Fate decided otherwise and she passed away the week before Christmas. With her parents we decided to donate all earnings of the song to the Nederlandse Leverpatiënten Vereniging (Dutch Liver patients Association).
In January 2016 Demet suggested that it would be a beautiful idea to make a compilation album with on it songs contributed by friends and other artists we know. With the album ‘Tree of Life’ we want to celebrate life in general and more specifically, to be grateful for the beautiful moments we all have and see around us, every day again.
