A CHART-TOPPING singer-songwriter will donate all the profits from his latest album to help malnourished children.

Brighton-born Passenger, best known for his single Let Her Go, will be donating the proceedings from his new album Whispers II to Unicef’s work to help children at risk in Liberia.

The ten-track album is released by Passenger’s own label Black Crow Records and will see the money go towards food, supplements and training for health workers.

The folk rocker, real name Mike Rosenberg, said: “I’m really excited about the new album and, I think the most exciting thing about this whole project is that I have teamed up with Unicef.

“All of the profits from every CD, every record, and every digital download will go to Unicef’s campaign in Liberia, helping malnourished children, providing supplements and food that’s desperately needed. It’s incredible to be able to do this.”

“As a lot of you will know I’ve come from busking, and I never dreamed Passenger would be successful, let alone get to this stage.

“So now that it has, it’s just the most unbelievable feeling to be able to do something that will genuinely help children and make a lasting impact.”

Each year 10,000 children die of malnutrition in Liberia and over the next five years Unicef will be aiming to reach every child under the age of five in the country.

David Bull, Unicef UK executive director, said: “Even before the Ebola outbreak, Liberia had one of the highest child mortality rates in the world.

“With the help of our amazing supporters such as Passenger, Unicef is in a position to reverse this trend and have a fundamental impact on development in Liberia.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Passenger and his fans for their generous support of this work.

“Together, we have a real chance of changing the lives of millions of Liberian children.”
