With the purpose of our creation in mind, 'Daystar' compiles quotes of Bahá'u'lláh, The Báb and `Abdu'l-Bahá, focusing primarily on our capacity to bring light and joy into the world. Through world collaborations, various languages, and the exploration of many instruments and sounds it addresses individual growth, overcoming our tests and hardships, and turning to our Creator for guidance, and it aims to instill a sense of empowerment, especially in the younger generation, as we strive to create love and harmony in our communities and the world.
