Who Are We
“Changing Lives One Beat At A Time”
After 31 years of combined military service, Tay and I struggled to find peace through traditional therapy and medication. Searching for something more, we turned to music festivals, and what started as escape became transformation.
In the energy of EDM, we found healing, connection, and purpose. One festival gave us more emotional clarity than years of therapy.
Now, we’re helping other veterans access that same breakthrough, through the powerful, unconventional world of EDM.
EDM4V (Electronic Dance Music for Veterans) is the premier nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of veterans through the healing power of electronic dance music.
We are more than an organization, We’re a movement.
EDM4V is raw, real, and built for veterans who need something different. We created it because we needed it, and now it’s here for anyone else walking that same line.
If you're a veteran feeling lost, disconnected, or just done — EDM4V is your starting point. You are not alone.
What We Do
“Rave With A Purpose”
Our Heartbeat – The Public Mission
EDM4V helps veterans reconnect, heal, and rediscover identity and purpose through the therapeutic power of electronic dance music.
We create spaces where veterans can:
-
Heal through music and movement — using EDM as a tool for emotional release, nervous system regulation, and self-expression
-
Rebuild connection — with themselves, with other veterans, the EDM Community, and with supportive communities that understand their journey
-
Rediscover purpose — through meaningful engagement, peer support, creative outlets, and service-driven opportunities within the EDM world
This is what drives us. It’s the emotional core of everything we do, It’s the reason EDM4V exists. (We believe healing can be loud, connection can be found in a crowd, and purpose can be rediscovered through music and movement.)
