Hi, I'm Anna Paloma.
As an artist, asking for financial assistance can be a bit awkward but I am working on a project that I truly believe in and need your help and support. I am working on a music video! This project means a lot to me and I am humbly asking for financial help from those who may have the means to support my dream. Even if you're just reading this to learn more about me or can't support financially but want to share with friends, know that I'm so grateful. It’s not easy for me to ask for help but it is honest.
A team of talented professional artists and I are working to create an epic video that can be sent out to producers, record labels, and festivals internationally. This is an opportunity to take my career to the next level and if we can collect the proper funds, it may even be considered for the GRAMMYS 2022!!
Funds raised will go to paying my collaborators, crew, location, and necessary items to fulfill our dream. Since I am working with high-level professionals in their field, I need to pay them appropriately for their time and development. We are committed to cultivating a safe environment that gives us the freedom to create and be our best selves and where we put our crew and collaborators first.
As a professional singer, I am sought after for my strong vocals and stage presence. In the past 2 years, I have performed at countless events including 54 Below, New York Botanical Gardens, Hard Rock Hotel Atlantic City, Peak NYC, and many other venues in the Tri-State area from New Jersey, the Hamptons, to Montauk. I am also the co-owner and founder of the girl group The New York Harmonics. We will be setting sail on the QUEEN MARY II this Christmas! Woo!
Luckily, I already have committed team members on this project, but we will be limited on the creativity and scale due to the funds available. I wish that money and music weren't so intertwined but this is the truth; the more funds, the more fully realized our vision can be. Therefore, it is imperative that we meet our financial goal to accomplish this project.
Growing up with hardworking parents who run their own small business, I understand the sacrifice it takes to financially help support others when bills pile up. And yet, my parents have always been generous with me. They live simple lives to make that happen. Many young artists here in NYC are really struggling or simply throw in the towel. I am one of those "starving artists". But I. AM. NOT. A. QUITTER. Throughout the pandemic, I used the time to work remotely with my mentors and collaborate with other musicians. They, like me, feel it is time for me to take the next leap in my music career.

THERE ARE TWO WAYS YOU CAN HELP:
1. Give, please give. Think about what you would feel comfortable with giving and help me out with this project. Any amount you feel comfortable with is going to be appreciated and used wisely.
2. Help me spread the word. The more “angel investors” get on board, the sooner I can get this project off the ground. Talk it up with friends and families that may not be familiar with me or my work. Send them this link or to my Instagram page. https://www.instagram.com/_annapaloma/?hl=en
Please share this with everyone you know that would willingly want to contribute to the Universal Language of Love: MUSIC- either by sharing or contributing to this campaign. No amount is too small (or too large!). It will be humbly appreciated. Please share, share, share! Facebook, Instagram, email, or however is best for your community. That in itself means the world to me.

Seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart,
