Short Summary
My name is Shola Ophelia and I have been working on my debut EP for 4 years. I spent 2 years writing for it and 2 years recording it. It has been an amazing experience and I have learned to wear many hats as an independent artist and I have invested so much into this project. During the day, you will catch me student teaching and nannying and at night, I would be writing and making music. As a little girl, I never wanted to be famous or see my name in lights. I just wanted to create music and release it, even it was for 5 people or 500 people! We are so close to releasing it but there is a little bit of funding that is needed to finish that process of releasing.
How much?
The cap is $4500 that I am needing to release this EP and I am even investing my own money to reach that goal. IF we don't meet that goal, I will still be able to put whatever we funded towards my EP release.
That money goes towards:
- Mastering the EP (final process the songs go through to make everything sound squeaky clean)
- Promotion
- Distribution (how you get it into your ears!)
- Release Party
The Impact
Imagine being pregnant for 4 years and you are just ready for it to come out. That is how it feels! I have had this project (I call it a brain baby), I listen to it daily and it is so close to being released and I would love for you to hear it. I know that it will relate to everyone in some form. I wrote about love, heartache and the most important person to me, Jesus.
Risks & Challenges
If we don't get it funded, it will further delay the release of my EP. Trust me, it has been way too long! I am ready! YOU ARE READY!
