Overview
After 4 years of writing and releasing music and having experienced some amazing milestones and personal achievements. Since then the industry has changed significantly. In 2017 we see music streaming leading the way in how people listen to music. This is great for choice and having accessibility but it also means that recording costs are much more difficult to recoup in a time where people don't buy music anymore! This is where I need your support as I invite you to be part of my next album!

Hi, I am George Simpson. I am an independent singer/songwriter from Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire (UK)

Welcome to my new album funding campaign! Over the past year I have been busy writing new material which I feel is the best work of mine to date. I'm so excited to show you what I have been up too!

But before recording gets underway - I am asking all of my fans and supporters "who would like to be part of my next album? Who would like to share my journey and watch the album develop step by step as well as having exclusive access to the album before anyone else and other perks? With exclusive invites to the album launch and having your name in the album credits? Or even having your favourite song recorded for you or a private show in your home!

PREVIOUSLY

Over the past few years, I have received National radio play on BBC Radio 2's 'Jeremy Vine show' , Good Morning Sunday and Graham Norton show with my singles 'The Bottle & Never leave you out in the rain'.  I've also become a verified public figure on Facebook and Spotify due to the level of fans who follow me and the engagement and interaction on those sites. I am highly recognised by BBC Introducing with over 10 track plays to date and have performed at some iconic venues such as Ronnie Scott's, Hippodrome and Jools Hollands Jam House to name a few. All of this by being Independent and relying on only myself and self funding and managing my projects/music releases.

With your support I really feel that the sky is the limit with where my musical journey will head to next!

STREAMING 

Artist receive 0.003 pence for every time a song is streamed. This is great for the worlds biggest stars and record labels who receive millions of streams per day but for independent artists it means album sales are lower than ever before and recording costs are very difficult to cover from streaming alone which has caused the evolution of 'Crowd funding or Kickstarter' campaigns.

WHAT I NEED

I am looking at an initial target of £3000 to cover the main part of the recording/production costs

From then upwards, the more money that is raised the bigger targets I can hit from Mastering the album to  launching PR campaigns to promote single on a bigger scale and touring!

More means more. More support and funds, the more successful the album launch can be.

AND WHAT YOU GET

  • You will get a physical CD along with a link to download the tracks as a minimum. The album artwork will have your name in it as one of the album credits for making the album happen! You will also get the album before its is released to the general public and you will be kept updated regularly on the progress on the album with photo diaries and live videos of the new songs!
  • There are a selection of perks to choose from, which include the likes of having a signed copy, a live home performance and even a live recording of your favourite song.

THE IMPACT

This will make a huge impact on my next album. With your support and hitting the target it means that my best material can be matched with the best recordings and best promotion to give me the platform to build on what I have achieved over the past few year in the industry!
