The vision.
Almost three years ago I gave out my first ever EP. This EP was a little DIY and had a lot of heart, but my new songs have progressed since then and I feel like I need to get them out into the world! At the end of this month I'm releasing a free EP available for digital download. But it's time to think bigger: in the coming months I'd like to finish producing & release my debut album.
I've been writing, demo-ing, recording and re-recording for about a year now. I have travelled the country in search of the perfect team to create my sound, and in lieu of this, I did not find the perfect team...instead I found the perfect inspiration to write even more songs. I found the perfect source of hope in friends from my hometown and in the midst of my wanderlust, all kinds of people that I've been blessed enough to meet on the road & hear their stories. Thus said, I am producing this album myself, with the help of some great & talented friends, and I'm just hoping that these experiences I've been fortunate enough to have will have the chance to be heard.
Unfortunately, I cannot complete or distribute the album unless I have the money to do it. So I am modestly asking for your support & assistance in breaking this first barrier of my journey. I want to make honest music and be able to produce these songs with high quality, highlighting the integrity and raw passion of the music without over-prouduction or programming.
How is it possible?
Since I've never set up a campaign for my music, I am asking for $500 to ensure that I will be able to distribute the record and cover some of the production costs. I know I can scrounge around and work hard enough for the rest of the money I will need, but I could use a bit of a helping hand.
On the right side of this page you will find a list of packages you will recieve for contributing. By choosing one of these packages you can do things like pre-order a copy of the record, get the limited edition physical copy of my EP being released this month, download the songs before anyone else, video chat with me on Skype, and more.
If I don't reach my goal, the funds will still be going towards the album. Anything helps!
The Impact
The record & these songs have been such a long time coming and I feel like now is the time that they need to be heard. Being able to release them would be an incredible opportunity and the first step in my journey. The last release I did was when I was just 15 years old, an EP containing songs that were nonetheless from the heart but before I knew who I was and who I wanted to be.
Other Ways You Can Help
The world is an expensive place and I understand if you can't contribute. Obviously I know how difficult money troubles can make things! If you're unable to donate anything to the cause, I will be releasing my free EP this month so please download the songs on Bandcamp or Facebook! If you can think of anyone who may be interested in my cause, it would help me out if you'd spread the word. Indiegogo provides some easy-share links below to make the quest a little less challenging.
Thanks for your time in reading this and your support, I hope to be able to share my new songs with you soon!
