THE  JOURNEY OF “GREEDY”

Backstory:

Taylor Simone is a seasoned singer, songwriter, and pianist. She specializes in Soul/Jazz, but through her work with CUSH (Columbia University Society of Hip-Hop), she has incorporated hip-hop in her style as well. She’s spent the past 7 years honing her craft, enhancing her experience through various programs like Grammy Jazz Ensembles and NFAA Young Arts, and performing countless shows in both New York City and her hometown of Los Angeles, California. Taylor Simone just released her latest EP entitled “Songs from the Front Yard,” available at www.songsfromthefrontyard.com

Soleil has spent the past 6 years engulfed in multi-media projects, music, and dance, with a passionate focus on Hip-Hop artists and culture. Her natural appreciation for an artist’s personal story and career vision has helped her polish the skills necessary to develop unique, creative ideas that are both marketable and respectable for a successful brand.  After a slew of music industry internships and consulting for various independent artists and projects, she’s focusing on her own worl-- comprised of DJing, choreography, and multi-media art.

Fast Forward:

After this school semester's move-in day, somewhere around the beginning of September, Taylor and Soleil, both seniors at Columbia University in New York City, roommates,  naturally  started a conversation that landed on their music ambitions. The story is quite simple from here…

Taylor played Soleil the song “Greedy.” Soleil loved it.

Soleil asked Taylor if she could provide Creative Direction for the music video. Taylor said absolutely.

After pulling together an amazing production team, Erica Rose-Director & Dreamtiger Productions, it was official. We’ve been putting in hours of work each day to make this music video happen.

AND IT’S HAPPENING!

HUSTLIN IN SOLIDARTY

Everyone on our core production team, Taylor Simone, Soleil, Erica Rose, Dreamtiger, and Sam Baumel, are all 100% committed to this project for FREE. They are all full-time students or working professionals and have been keeping up with the following tasks out of pocket:

·  Aggregating resources

·  scouting locations all over the greater NY area

·  casting dancers & rehearsing choreography

·  booking rehearsal space

·  hosting meetings

·  shopping for art/wardrobe/props

·  reserving production equipment

·  applying for equipment insurance

·  applying for location permits

·  hiring paid crew members

Meanwhile, we still need to:

·  Buy & rent wardrobe for 6 dancers & Taylor

·  Rent Lenses

·  Rent Kit & Lights

·  Rent Hard Drives

·  Rent Transportation

·  Buy Food for our crew – 23 people (Two 15 hour days)

·  Pay for Equipment Insurance

·  Pay our Production Crew

      - Camera

      -Assistant Camera

      -Gaffer

      -Key Grip

      -Hair/Make-Up Artist

      -Film Editor/Colorist

Our goal is to shoot a professional video, both technically and artistically, which requires excellent equipment, reliable crew, and talent. Most people are not getting paid to be on this project, but there is still a lot of hardware that needs to be bought/rented and insured.

YOUR IMPACT

By donating to our Indiegogo Campaign, you’re included in this exciting, artistic process, and making our dreams come true. Your support will push an authentic, extraordinarily talented singer to the forefront, and to give high-quality music inspired art a platform.

At the same time, your contribution will help bring Taylor Simone’s music and specifically, the music video “Greedy,” to the masses. This music video conveys a story worth telling. Without giving anything away, we want you to know that you can expect an intricate plot, suspenseful action, and a clever and unforgettable ending. Your support will provide mobility and exposure to a music video that incorporates original choreography, a dying art of the music video world, as well as an empowering story with an all women cast exhibiting strength, risk, boldness, audacity, confidence, and wit.

Not only will your investment better prepare us to execute a great video, but it will also help mobilize “Greedy” as a springboard to enhance Taylor Simone’s audience and network. This will, in turn, create the same mobilizing ripple effect for all of the creative contributors involved.
