Overview
I am so stoked about putting together this new EP, called Chapter 1. Songs that speak about love and life and our world today. Songs to inspire you for the road ahead. I'm ready to make my mark in music, like John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Jason Mraz, Ben Howard, but I can't do it alone! None of us can! Ned's Declassified was all about helping you and now I'm asking for your help. Please be a part of this campaign and come join my community. I think you'll find some really cool perks to take with you!

Devon Werkheiser - Chapter One (the EP)

Hello Family, Friends, and Fans!

Last year I released my album, Prologue, which is a collection of songs I had written over the last eight years. It is a record that sets up where I come from as a musician. Although many of you know me as an actor, music is a driving passion in my life. Something I have been working at and growing in for years. Finding my voice and what I am here to say. And now I'm ready to make my mark in the world of music. Like John Mayer, Jason Mraz, and Ed Sheeran. Like Ben Howard, James Vincent Mcmorrow, and Mumford & Sons. I begin with this new EP, Chapter One.

I believe in the power of music to reflect back to us our greater, connected nature. Music that makes us feel. Music that speaks to the heart. The brand new songs that will make up this EP do just that. 

I am right on the edge of something huge and amazing. Dreams I have had for a long time, this EP will help me make the jump, and so I am asking for your generous support to make it happen!

What I Need From You & What I Hope You'll Get

I think we all wish we could do it all on our own, so that we never have to be vulnerable and ask for help, but of course that is not the case. We are in this together. And I need you. I want this music to reach as many people as possible and to do that I have to do it right. The money needed to record and release Chapter One will go to a lot of different places. 

  • Recording and Mastering (so the record sounds top notch). 
  • Artwork and Videos (so the music is supported visually).
  • Advertising (as an independent artist every penny counts, this is the main way I reach new people)
  • Printing CDs and Fulfilling Your Perks!

I have a goal of 5000$, but let's aim to exceed that! There are so many people who haven't heard my music. They don't even know I am a musician. To reach them I need the money to promote, to extend my sonic waves of inspiration through the webisphere to reach their faces and earballs. There is an economy of attention, and with your help I will be able to reach the market. 

I am asking for the help and generosity of my community. For the help and generosity of you. It's not everyday you have the chance to help someone make a dream become a reality, but if that's not enough for you, I have great perks lined up to sweeten your donation! When creating this campaign, I was excited about making perks that give us an opportunity to connect and share with one another. At a minimum, you will get a pre-release download of the EP, but there a tons of options to get something really meaningful and fun out of this. 

  • You can get a signed hard copy, or some social media love. 
  • You can hear the demos of how the songs began and developed.
  • You can get handwritten lyrics.
  • I'll make you a personalized mix CD of my favorite music. 
  • I'll send you a favorite book of mine and inscribe it for your inspiration.
  • Let's video chat! Or be pen-pals! 
  • Let's have a virtual coffee date, or in person!
  • I am even offering up an extended Video Chat where I will be your life-coach/therapist/friend. We can talk through something that you're going through and I will listen and support you how I can, because sometimes we just need someone to listen.

For The Ned's Declassified Fans! 

  • You can have Daniel Curtis Lee and I sing you a song! 
  • Or a one-of-a-kind, signed James K. Polk hat!
  • Or even come to Los Angeles for a Ned's Declassified Cast pizza party and an LA experience with me!

I am really looking forward to fulfilling some of the music perks!

  • If you have a favorite song, have me do a one-of-a-kind cover of it!
  • Have you ever wanted to write a love song for someone, but don't have the musical ability, you give me the details, and I will create for you a unique, personal, beautiful love song!!!
  • The perk I am most looking forward to fulfilling is the Private Concert! Fly me to where you are (or if it's close enough, I'll drive) and let's have a beautiful night sharing music and stories and inspiration. We can create something really special with this. A night all of us will remember.

I hope through this campaign we can get to know each other a little better. And hey, if you have a great idea for a perk you'd like, reach out to me and I can try to make it happen! The relationship of artist and audience is about give and take, where we are both giving to each other, and both taking something away from our interaction. And of course I hope to reach my goal, actually I would love if you'd help me exceed my goal, but every dollar that comes into this campaign will be appreciated and used to make this project happen! 

Let's have some fun with this! Do you have a blog or club that would get something out of this? Maybe your school or college has a budget for events and would be interested in the Private Concert perk? Maybe you want to organize your friends to buy tickets for the Private Concert to cover the cost? Get creative. My heart and soul will be going into making this happen, and fulfilling your perks and the forthcoming EP with some magic. 

What I Hope To Achieve

When I look around at the world, I see so much conflict, and confusion, and suffering. I see isolated people who deserve to remember they are not alone. I see greedy people who need to remember how good it feels to give. I see a society that needs to prioritize compassion and generosity over profit and personal gain. Through all the darkness, I see hope, creativity, and love. And everything I do is about expanding that hope and love into the world. I am an artist on a mission, committed to making an impact one person at a time.

In the entertainment world, it is easy to get lost in the surface and shine, but I have always been inspired by artists who spoke something deeper. Artists who remind us we are not alone. Who inspire us to love louder and live boldly. Artists who have used their platform to do good for others, and not just themselves. 

I have been in the entertainment industry all my life, and while some people may think that I've done a lot, I am just beginning. You are going to be seeing and hearing a lot more from me, and  this EP is a part of that. I want to make music for the rest of my life. I want to act and tell stories for the rest of my life. I want to connect and inspire and give back for the rest of my life. You can help me with this. You can be a part of this.

Making this EP and campaign successful is a big step in the right direction for me.

I hope you will come join my community and be a part of my journey. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I love making music. I put my whole heart into it. I am very excited about the new songs that will make up Chapter One. But please explore my previous releases and enjoy the story being told!

In case you missed it...

After continuous social media requests for high school and college tips, after seeing repeated jokes about "Ned's", and authentic "Ned's" fans reaching out on social media, I decided to do something for those reaching out, so I created twenty episodes of Devon's Life Survival Guide and put them on Youtube. It's motivational, inspirational series of vlogs aimed at relating, reflecting, and uplifting the audience through one of life's hangups. DLSG was my way of doing what Ned did, doing my best to help others better survive their life by drawing on the lessons I've learned first hand. I created episodes about universal themes and struggles that we all go through. I wanted to create something positive and authentic that could reach those who needed it. Sometimes all we need is a little perspective, and to know that we are not going through it alone. The comment threads have been full of brave, beautiful, and honest sharing and are proof that we are not alone. Here are some of my favorite episodes...

If you enjoyed these episodes, there are a bunch more on my channel....

 

Thank you for your time. Let's do this. I would be honored if you'd help me achieve this goal.
