Known to his fans as "the Prezident" - "el Prezidente" of Hip-Hop music in his native Puerto Rico, Hip-Hop/Ragaetton artist Johnny Prez has made a life-saving decision and wants his fans to do the same; to donate life. The Platinum-selling artist wants to assist the Coalition for Organ and Tissue Donation by helping spread the facts about organ and tissue donation to youth communities worldwide.

"There are thousands of people in the United States and Puerto Rico who are waiting for organ transplants...unfortunately, due to the lack of education in reference to organ donation, many people are dying every day, and I want to help change that by asking my fans to learn more about organ donation and to think about becoming a donor and sharing their decision with their family," said "el Prezidente" of Hip Hop music Prez.

One of the methods of spreading the message of "donating life" to his fans is through his music; Prez is currently in a San Juan recording studio recording a single about the need for more life savers and the decision to donate life. The single will be included as an added extra on his upcoming CD "THE KNOCK OUTS"; however, he will be making the single available free of charge to organizations that help promote organ donation and via his web site: www.johnny-prez.com  "As an artist, I want to be responsible and help spread such an important message to people all over the world, and I am blessed that I have the power to do that through my music," said Prez.

Next month, while performing for Telemundo at the 116th Street Festival on June 10, Prez will be filming a music video/PSA (Public Service Announcement) in New York City. He is inviting organ-transplant recipients and survivors to be part of the PSA by being extras in the music video/PSA.

More information on the filming of the video, as well as information on organ and tissue donation, can be found on Prez's web sites: www.johnny-prez.com  and www.johnnyprez-donevida.info .
