On December 2nd, 2024, music industry veteran Barry Squire passed away suddenly at the age of 70, leaving his wife and daughter with no safety net. Unfortunately, there wasn't a will, trust or life insurance.  This has made usual mundane things like mortgage and insurance a challenge, not to mention providing Barry with a proper celebration of life a music icon like Barry deserves. They need our help.

Barry is a legend in the music business spanning over 4 decades.  Working with the likes of Bruno Mars, Green Day, Nine Inch Nails, Miley Cyrus, Wolfmother, Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Stone Temple Pilots, Frank Ocean, Neil Diamond, Andra Day, and Justin Bieber (just to name a few!). Barry was known as the go-to person in the music industry when you needed to find talented musicians, and assemble the hottest bands that toured the world. ​

During his career, Barry had worked as A&R at Warner Brothers Records, Geffen Records and Columbia Records. In addition to his role as an A&R representative and scout for various record labels, he was also the guy who referred musicians to bands and vice versa. He gave young aspiring musicians in LA the opportunities to live our dreams, performing with world class artists. He gave a lot of your favorite musicians their start, which changed the trajectory of their entire lives​
