OUR STORY

T
T, our lead singer, upon learning his HIV positive status in 1996, and not knowing how long he would live, gravitated to his one love ~ music ~ and started writing songs and singing. Even after being challenged and shaped through an HIV positive diagnosis, T has shared his incredible story through multiple iterations of song and drama. 

Along with the WHO, T believes that HIV stigma is one of the significant reasons people still die from AIDS. Seeing HIV positive 'rock stars' behaving just as healthy, creative, and productive as anybody else, will help reduce the stigma.

Justin Anantawan
Justin Anantawan, our backup singer, is also openly HIV positive and does not hesitate to talk about it. Justin is active in the community, bringing awareness to issues affecting PHAs like HIV stigma and criminalization.

SOCIAL MISSION TO END AIDS

We want our musicians to become storytellers, making people go through the pain and stigma that thousands of innocent souls face every day. And eventually, our compelling stories and musical artwork will trigger a fight against poor healthcare management and absurd stigmas prevailing in our society.

We seek to change our world's disparate access to healthcare and ingrain its importance within each individual and government through our art. Furthermore, funding received through these projects will help find solutions on how to reduce HIV and AIDS.

You can be associated with a notable humanitarian project that will improve many underprivileged and underserved lives through donations.

Donate for the change you want to see!

THE SOUTHERN TIME TETRALOGY

Southern Time's cinematic release, 'The Southern Time Tetralogy,' is a four-part musical docudrama that will debut in 2021.

Brimming with music art and entertainment, the tetralogy portrays T. The story illustrates how T acquired HIV, what living with it has been like for him, and of the social and spiritual insights he gained because of having both HIV and AIDS.

The struggles of being HIV positive and the stigma and discrimination attached to it are what we want to make the world see, hear, and feel. The movie is made to hearten empathy, compassion, and understanding for all human beings.

Our music work in the film, including the tetralogy's overture album, 'Lost in Love No More,' is out now!

We hope you love it!

This means that Canada has a fourth consecutive year in wherein cases have increased.  The Canadian Government has explicitly mentioned its support for the UNAIDS targets. But that hasn’t stopped them from implementing funding cuts to community-based HIV organizations. That means that their long-term strategizing has been hampered, only because they didn’t heed to the government’s warning. Places like these are in constant danger without the funding.
