It all started with a dream…

Evangeline Pabalan, Founder / President 

Hi! I'm Evie, a New Jersey teen with a passion for singing, acting, and service.
My love for performance began in elementary school, where I first stepped into the spotlight for school plays and local events. For anyone who shares this passion, you know there's nothing quite like the rush of performing for an audience-it's a feeling I’ll never forget. Over the years, I’ve found immense joy in making people smile, laugh, and feel good through my performances.

As I looked for ways to give back to my community, I realized that the answer was right in front of me. By organizing performances, open mics, and showcases, I discovered that I could use my voice—and the voices of others in our community-to support local organizations in need of donations and financial aid.

Chords for Change is a project that is deeply close to my heart. It brings together my love for music and my desire to make a positive impact. Through this initiative, I’m able to collaborate with talented young artists to support causes that are important to our community. My hope is that this project will not only raise awareness and funds but also inspire others to embrace service with the same passion and commitment that I do.

Whether you’re a musician or someone who simply enjoys making a difference, I hope Chords for Change serves as a reminder that your voice matters. Whether you're singing, speaking out, or amplifying the voices of those who need it most, every action counts.

As the saying goes, the only way to find your voice is to use it.
