About Charity Bomb
Charity Bomb is a non-profit organization founded by four philanthropic friends to producebenefit shows for a variety of charitable organizations in the scope of music. Our motto is “All Purpose Altruism” - we deliver 100% of the proceeds, 100% of the time, with 100% transparency, to ensure that the funds raised reach its intended constituency, every dime, every time.
Musician & Philanthropist, Matthew Leone was put into a coma with 1/3 of his skull removed after rescuing a woman being beaten on the streets of Chicago a few years back. From Kevin, Lyman & Warped Tour, to Kiss and Madonna, the international music community rallied to bring him back to life. Smashing Pumpkins even did a benefit show for him. Twin brother, singer for their band Madina Lake, Nathan Leone agrees, this is what saved his life. Consequently, the
Leone’s devoted their lives to giving back. After several years with Sweet Relief Musicians Fund& Help Musicians UK, it was time to branch out. All-Purpose Altruism - Charity Bomb reflects the ubiquitous truth that love is the antidote for everything. This notion, as applied in our philanthropic context, asserts that we will drum up love, in all of its forms, for a particular cause or purpose, and drop it on the antagonist.
Los Angeles native, professional musician & acclaimed songwriter, Nik Frost, suffered from addiction. When drugs came dangerously close to claiming his life, it was fellow musicians,Dave Kushner & Brian O’conner (Velvet Revolver & Eagles of Death Metal respectively) whointervened and came to his rescue. Nik worked with Matthew on several projects, all a pre- destination to Charity Bomb.We are a non-profit, fundraising and awareness agent for any benevolent cause that enters our ether.
Ryan Ford, lifelong closest friend, philanthropist, successful entrepreneur, an avid lover ofmusic, is the fourth Charity Bomber. Ryan’s founded several businesses, MP45 Records amongthem, and brings the administrative acumen to complement his creative contribution to the collective. In short, we have the purpose, we know the right people and we know how to put on a show. We love a win-win-win outcome. It’s abundantly clear that living a life where we producespectacular live music events that serve a philanthropic cause, makes our constituents win, our clients win, and the fans win.
