The response from the artists has been sensational, and I am so proud that together we may help to make a difference. After an earthquake in Haiti in 2010, a remake of the song by an ad hoc supergroup of Canadian artists, credited as Young Artists for Haiti, became a charity. K'naan's lyrics in Wavin' Flag embody the pain, passion and determination of the Haitian people and lend the hope of a brighter future. KNaans Wavin Flag is the anthem for Young Artists for Haiti, recorded by some of the biggest names in Canadian music in support of earthquake relief.
Ezrin stated, "With the wealth of young artists coming out of Canada, it was obvious that this is something we had to do. Produced by Canadian producer, Bob Ezrin, co-produced by Garth Richardson and Shawn Marino, and engineered by Mike Fraser, the song was reworked to include specific lyrics for Haiti and was released on March 12, 2010, raising over $1 million with proceeds going to Free The Children, War Child Canada and World Vision Canada. More than 50 Canadian artists gathered at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia to record a rendition of renowned hip hop artist K'naan's " Wavin' Flag". Young Artists for Haiti was a movement to engage Canada's young musicians to continue to inspire an ongoing effort and contribution to Canadian charities for their work to help the people of Haiti overcome the devastation from the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that rocked the country on January 12, 2010. Some of the amazing Canadian artists part of Young Artists for Haiti include: K'naan, Jacob Hoggard (Hedley), Nelly Furtado, Justin Bieber, Drake, Sam Roberts, Avril Lavigne, Metric, Lights, Nikki Yanofsky and more.
