Miko Marks to perform at Global Happiness Summit 2010

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 05, 2010 (Press-News.org) People Magazine names her one of "Nashville's Hottest New Country Stars", while Ebony recognizes her as "The Storyteller", and one who is "Breaking the Sound Barriers" in music! Whatever the case, all can agree that Miko Marks is an artist in sync with the times. On the frontlines of change, Ms. Marks is blazing an unprecedented trail and ushering in a new generation!

Named "Best New Country Artist" by New Music Weekly, Miko's debut album, "Freeway Bound", also received honors as the "2007 Country Album of the Year", at The Independent Music Awards. Amongst the judges were country icons, Wynonna Judd, and Patti Loveless, of The Grand Ole Opry. Miko is the first and only African American woman in the history of country music to receive such high honors. Her newly released CD, "It Feels Good" is also gaining much acclaim.

The Global Happiness Summit ( http://www.globalhappinesssummit.org ) will take place on October 9th âEUR"10th, 2010 aboard the USS-Hornet, an American treasure that participated in the Apollo 11 space mission.

The I Am Happy Project is a non-profit charitable organization that began early 2009 by Edwin Edebiri. During a time when disasters, recession and depression are increasing, he wanted to encourage people to shift focus on the things that really matter, such as faith, family and friends. The 10-10-10 campaign: At the summit we will identify the 10 things we can do over the next 10 years to raise the Global Happiness Index ( http://www.globalhappinesssummit.org ) (GHI) by 10 points. (Current index is at 67)

According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego

âEURœWhen an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One personâEUR s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friendsâEUR friends, and his friendsâEUR friendsâEUR friends. The effect lasts for up to one year.âEUR
