These songs highlight the needs of the planet, and the action that the people of this planet need to take to correct the imbalances and ensure a clean, green planet for generations to come. It aims at enlightening the young through music, igniting in them that spark - to be responsible, to spread awareness among their peers and everyone they interact with.

Ricky Kej on being nominated, said, "I am beyond thrilled to be nominated for this meaningful and prestigious award. My Earth Songs is a sincere effort to ensure a new generation of environmentally connected human beings. Everyone needs to play their part to create a more environmentally conscious society. I believe as musicians, we must use our art to raise awareness on sustainable development, and the best way is to start with children. Our audience will sing our songs, and keep humming them many times a day. One goal will catch their attention, followed by another, and another, becoming a topic of conversation that will build into a cause for action."

He added, "It's time to revive the spirit of compassion. I hope this young movement of My Earth Songs will spur a revolution to restore our planet, and help it breathe easy again!"
