History and Purpose
I began my musical journey in 2013 and have not stopped since. It has been crazy, exciting, and fulfilling. There is nothing better than knowing what it is that makes your heart keep ticking and doing it, really doing it. My first EP "Free Birds" recorded in Brazil with producer, Ton Molinari, was released in 2014. Since releasing "Free Birds", I have grown as an artist, finding my sound has been quite a journey and, honestly, I think I'll forever be on it. However, finding a reason to sing was never been an issue.
I am passionate about singing with purpose, singing with truth and hope soaked into the lyrics. I am blessed to have been a finalist in the Unsigned Only song writing competition with my single "Merman" released in 2015. In a nationwide search for the next Nashville star, I was top 10 out of 715 contestants, but I chose not to continue in the contest feeling that I needed to be true to myself and my music. That was an extremely hard decision.
I am so grateful for the support I have received thus far and I'm so pumped to finish my next EP. I'm working with Producer, Matt Moss, from Lake Charles, Louisiana. I felt I needed a product that represented me well, something that would launch me into my next step. I know you guys will love it. Speaking of next step, I hope to tour/move mid 2017 to spread the music and the love. I think it's a little scary and challenging to leave everything you know in a little town to some booming city with just a little change in your pocket and a strong will to go for it. OK so the point----the campaign.
Why I Need You.
Here are some ways your contributions will help me:
-
Studio Time/Production. Including costs of recording, editing, and mixing. (Each song costs over $1,000)
-
Printing Physical Albums. So you can get a cool hard copy and jam it in your car.
-
Graphic Design. (logos, album art, web design, merch design) every artists needs the internet game strong, got to get with the times.
-
Publicity/Promo. Includes helping me reach more people through touring, I wanna go far and wide! (I am willing to sleep in my car, but I do have to eat.)
The Impact
I believe this EP is a statement of courage. It's the thing that's scary. The thing where your heart says "this is all I've ever wanted and you're trembling as you wait to expose you heART to the world.
In supporting me:
- You are become a co-laborer with me in reaching my dreams and my God-dreams.
- You are giving permission for ALL the dreamers to dream
- And you are helping me reach more ears that need to hear hope
Risks & Challenges
The biggest risk is putting all the funds into an EP and not having sufficient funds to travel and promote the music. Touring on my own as a woman would be challenging; however, I'm quite sure... when there's a will there is a way. I believe that GRIT/PERSISTENCE is key to overcoming any challenges that may come my way, and I have that. I believe in myself and I believe in the power of music. When you know what it is you were born to do, it's very easy to be all-in and let nothing get in the way.
