YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This New Yorker spends his time playing guitar on the streets and giving whatever he makes in tips to the homeless. Through his project, #HePlaysForMe, Leahy raised over $10,000 for a homeless shelter, and also helped individuals living on the streets. He said for 15 minutes of music, he can often make $15 in tips, none of which he keeps himself. He also attracted the attention of Sony's RED, where he signed a distribution deal for his upcoming music video, "American Man", which retells the themes he's learned helping homeless people earn a few dollars. #InsideEdition
