Hello everyone! This is NYC saxophonist/composer Mike DiRubbo. THANK YOU for taking the time to visit my campaign!
CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ME

Your help in funding this campaign will allow me to record my working band and document our new compositions for the much anticipated 2nd release on Ksanti Records.

YOU enable me to record my music the way I intend you to hear it. The most pure vision of my music throughout the entire process!

It was through a previous crowd-funding campaign that my label
Ksanti Records was born and we successfully produced Four Hands, One Heart!

Here is the breakdown of what the funds will be used for:

Paying the musicians
Recording costs - studio time, engineer, mixing & mastering
Graphic design
CD manufacturing
Print publicity and radio promo

You are not obligated to choose a reward but if you do there are rewards for everyone: from signed copies of CD's to music lessons, producer credits, ad space, guest passes, live performances, etc.

One of the unique rewards I'm offering is a signed Limited Edition color print and a signed Original Black & White sketch of me at Smalls Jazz Club by UK artist Alban Low. The color PRINTS are about 17.5" X 11.5" and the smaller ORIGINAL Black and White sketch is just under 12" X 8". See the pics below.
