On November 3rd, 2015 I had volunteered at I.S. 192 in N.Y.C.
The school was having a book fair for the children.

The theme was "Get Under The Sea & Dive Into Reading."

I was able to decorate the event room to have an "under the sea" look. (Along with the PTA)

Reading, writing and literature were my favorite subjects growing up.
I was extremely happy to be a part of this cause and see the reactions of the children.

I loved that the school was also raising funds to buy books for the children who were unable to afford them. #ReadingIsFundamental



Tuesday, October 20th, 2015 -
I volunteered to assist the parents at a school in The Bronx, NYC for the children to experience pumpkin/apple picking.

We were initially going to have them pumpkin/apple picking on the roof top of the school, but due to the inclement weather, we held the event in one of the main event spaces.

Some of these children were children just like you and I once were. Others were orphans... and some had special needs.

It truly warmed my heart to see how grateful and loving they all were.
Every night I pray for God to bless the children in my family and the children around the world.

These children are our future and if we want them to have a better future, we need to to take care of them while they are still growing and learning.

They all hold such a dear place in my heart. #LoveOneAnother

Betray Me With a kiss - Official Music Video

Last month I had the honor of performing for the Carnaval Cultura Latina. Ths is one of the biggest events held in New York City that allows the Latin American community to come together and enjoy an afternoon of music, dancing and food. My set-list consisted of all original songs, which included; Puppy Love, 1,2 Step, Hands Up & Perdoname. The week prior I was also able to perform at the press conference for the event and the Dominico American Society where I met some of the most amazing producers and staff for Telemundo television.

The multitude of people that attended the event welcomed me with so much love. It was such an honor to be there and connect with the crowd through song.
For the first time, since my latest album (Opening Up) has been released, I can honestly say that I feel like this is what I was really born to do. I feel it in my heart, body, mind, spirit and soul.  Below you will see a few pics from the press conference and the Latin Culture Carnaval.




Tribute to Sandy Hook, Newtown Connecticut Victims.

This is a song I recently wrote.
 Dedicated to all of the little angels who
are now watching over us. And to their families in
Sandy Hook / Newtown Connecticut.
May the heavens bring peace and comfort to you all.
With love,
Johnny Silvestry


Lyrics:


"Not Just a Child, You're My Hero!"


5 years old... sitting in the classroom on this cold December day...
And
you smile at your teacher who looked forward to this morning.
She woke up
looking forward to seeing that smile... and the beautiful eyes
Of an innocent
child.


You're not just a child but you're her hero!
And you don't even know it,
but she lives for the warmth of your smile.
Not just a child but you're her
hero!
She loves you so much that she would even lay down her life...
For
an innocent child.


Eleven years old, you walk into the classroom...
You're facing the
ground... Don't know why you frown.
But your teacher who looked forward to
this morning...
She lifts your pretty face and you smile... into her
beautiful eyes.
Such an innocent child.


You're not just a child but you're her hero!
And you don't even know it,
but she lives for the warmth of your smile.
Not just a child but you're her
hero!
She loves you so much that she would even lay down her life...
For
an innocent child.


And now the scene plays from a horrific movie...
Both hands on
trigger...
Looks into your eyes and pulls it back.
Your precious body hits
the ground...
Didn't even make a sound.
And I'M the one hurting, I'm
wounded, I'm screaming.


//Not just a child but you're my hero!"//


Now you're my angel, watching me from up above.


//Not just a child but you're my hero!"//


5 years old...
Sitting in the classroom on this cold December
day...
And you smile.
