    LOS ANGELES --

    Discovery Channel, in association with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and production company RadicalMedia, presents Hello World! which is a six-part series exploring the wonders of the natural world through the eyes of celebrated musical artists, including Usher, Christina Aguilera, Steven Tyler, Ellie Goulding, Joan Jett and Dave Matthews.

    The series brings out the universal themes of the artists’ music by using it as a soundtrack for the stories of animals in the wild. Hello World! debuts Saturday, July 9, with two back-to-back episodes for three weeks. 

    The series takes viewers deep into the environments of varied animals–including sea turtles, jumping spiders, rhinos and hawks–as they live their daily lives. Whether they are searching for water, looking for love, or caring for their families, these animals all have a singular way of surviving.  Each episode features the artist’s vibrant storytelling and one of their well-known songs, as well as a lush musical score.
