Personal Introduction
Hey y’all, I’m Brittany Bexton, a Nashville country
artist, with a bluesy, soulful edge. Musically, I’ve accomplished amazing
things, and the only reason, I’ve come this far, is because of incredible
support from people like you! I’m so very grateful to all of my generous fans,
friends, and supporters, for getting me this far. Music has always been a part
of who I am. For as long as I can remember, I knew that creating and performing
was my calling. I have trained extensively in acting, dance, and music. I
Studied voice for 15 years privately, and I attended college at the musical
theater conservatory, PCPA. After college, I focused my energy back on my true
passion, music. I moved to Nashville two years ago to pursue my dream
full-time, and learn the business from the inside out, and it has been a whirlwind
of a time in a lot of great ways! Now it’s time to take things to the next
level!
What We Need & What You Get
What the Campaign is for
I recorded a brand new single, called FREE FALL, in
August, and released it in October. This single has been gaining traction in
the music business, (top 5 on Music Road Radio, indie label offers, publisher
interest). In order to maximize its full potential, I plan to bolster its visibility
through a secondary market radio campaign. And, because my fans have been
itching for more new music, I plan on recording a complete FREE FALL, EP. This
funding goal will allow me to record 3 new songs, along with the necessary
promotion. This is extremely expensive, but together I know we can make it
happen!
After moving to Nashville, I quickly learned that the
only way to “make it” in today’s business is to make it happen yourself. It is
no longer about being discovered, but about creating your own business that
thrives so much that a label might want to buy into what you have already
begun. So, I started to build my business. Although I have experienced a lot of
success on my own the last couple of years, both touring in more than 7 states,
growing my fan base, and even gaining some airplay internationally, the
challenge is that I’ve been doing all of this business work myself. This
includes: marketing, booking, writing, radio promotion, practice/shows,
recording, updating my website, and running my social media. Although I can do
these things, I can’t do all of them effectively by myself. I know that I’m at
the point that I need help from some industry pros to move to the next level.
Unfortunately the promotional help I need costs a lot of money. This is why I
need your help.

Cost
Breakdown
I know $15,500 is a lot of
money, but the cost of promotion and recording is very expensive. Below I have
provided a breakdown of the costs, so that you can see with complete
transparency exactly where your contribution will be going.
Radio Promo:
-$7,500 - This
includes radio promotion, tracking spins/adds & charts, & advertising.
-$1,500 – Cost of CDX disc delivery to stations.
Cost to record:
-$6,450 – this includes mixing, mastering, tracking, studio
time, and production.
Additional Costs:
-$1,000 – Cost to print CD’s
-$3,000 – Cost of the Perks
-$4,000 – Cost to book and go on a radio tour.
-$3,000 – Cost to make a music video for FREE FALL
-$2,150 – Cost to record a 4th song
As you can see the costs add up quickly. You may have
noticed that I have expenses listed that aren’t included in my funding goal.
This is because I wanted to set a more reasonable goal to avoid the extra
expense from Indiegogo (9% vs. 4% if I don’t meet my goal). However, these
additional expenses are where the funding money will go if we exceed the goal.
*These are the most reasonable costs I could find for
quality recording and promotion. The cost can be far more.
