Help Arik Marshall Avoid Eviction

Arik Marshall, musician/artist, former guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers & vocalist Macy Gray, has recently hit upon an extremely rough patch in life. His employer (and best friend), whom Arik had worked with on both musical and cinematic endeavors for close to 14 years, was shockingly and tragically killed by the police while exiting a place of business in Los Angeles, CA. The loss left Arik without his best friend and without his primary source of income. During this difficult time, which was already impacted by the Covid pandemic leaving most musicians & artists struggling to get by financially, Arik was also diagnosed with a serious health condition which left him with a weakened immune system.

All of this triggered a bad period of depression where Arik struggled to find consistent work and fell deeper in debt to his landlord. Arik is now facing eviction, and possible homelessness.

We ask you to please make any donation you can afford to help Arik resolve his debt to his landlord and avoid losing his home of more than 16 years. Arik has been focusing on his health and is doing much better. He is consistently looking for steady work and he is also available for guitar lessons. We hope this reaches Arik’s peers who have worked with him in the music industry, his RHCP fans and anyone who can contribute from the heart. These are such difficult times for everyone, and we appreciate any contribution made. Arik is tremendously talented, he has a beautiful soul and he deserves a new start.

The life of a musician is an often uncertain, unstable and unpredictable path, particularly now, when those who play their instrument from the heart are in such less demand than in days of yore, but with your kindness and contribution, Arik is hoping he can “right the ship” in this trying time of stormy seas.
