3LAU is a true man for charity. Also known as Justin David Blau, the artist has raised over $200,000 for Pencils of Promise through Blume, the charity label he started up earlier this year. Pencils of Promise is a nonprofit organization that helps with the building of schools, scholarship funding and training of teachers.

Just three years ago, 3LAU raised about $25,000 for the same charity. This year, he wanted to reach a new goal of $100,000 and he actually was able to double that! Curious to know how Blume works? Well 3LAU goes a little in depth on how he raises the money in his recent interview with US Weekly.

“The way BLUME works is every song that’s streamed — so far there have only been two, which have both been my songs ‘Is It Love’ and ‘Fire’ — raises about a half of a cent”. Which it doesn’t seem like that much, but when you multiply it by millions, and these songs are getting millions of plays, every million plays on Spotify raises about $4,000.”

You can listen to 3LAU’s new single “You Want More“, which features vocals by YouTube star MAX below. The plays it receives on Spotify will also benefit PoP.
