Our Mission
Altadena Musicians restores the inspiring power of music to those impacted by natural disasters—especially young and emerging artists—by placing instruments, gear, and resources back into their hands.
We believe that music heals, connects, and uplifts. By joining forces with our national creative community, we’re turning loss into opportunity and silence into song.
“The instruments we lost are irreplaceable, but we can help create new memories with our custom registry.”
– Brandon Jay, founder Altadena Musicians
Brandon Jay and his wife Gwendolyn Sanford are music composers (Weeds/Orange is the New Black/Romy and Michele the Musical) who lost their home, their music studio and all but two of their instruments in the Eaton fire.
