Hello! And thank you for checking my first crowdfunding campaign!
I'm Innessa.
I'm here to fundraise $12000 AUD (including IndieGoGo fees and perk production costs) via this pre-sale/crowdfunding campaign to put it towards the recording of my new album "Golden Wreath".
Here’s a brief story WHO I AM:
* Born in RUSSIA, Kirov
* Travelled EIGHT countries
* Settled down in AUSTRALIA in 2010
* TEN years of singing in a choir
* FIFTEEN years of working as a singer
* THOUSANDS of nights of writing songs.
* THREE studio albums, a few singles.
I have always been true to my PASSION for singing and writing. Today I would like to put my soul into the recording of my FOURTH album that will combine TWO of my main projects: my originals in ALTERNATIVE POP/ROCK style + TRADITIONAL RUSSIAN FOLK. I am ready for this experiment! I have heaps of ideas in my head, sketches, harmonies, melodies, lyrics. Help me to get them out! Become a part of this recording!
My Original songs are unique, quirky yet soulful. East-European folk songs always capture one’s heart. WHAT HAPPENS IF I COMBINE MY MUSIC WITH TRADITIONAL EAST-EUROPEAN MELODIES? Do you want to hear it for yourself?
Are you intrigued enough? Then BECOME A PART OF THIS RECORDING PROCESS, be with me, let's do it together. I’m calling on you, my dear friends, family, strangers and supporters of music, to help me to create the album of my dream! ❤️️
Even if you can’t afford to get a perk, you can help me by SHARING this around and telling others about my music. You just have to copy and paste the following link to share it: https://igg.me/at/golden-wreath
We’ve got a wonderful, talented bunch of musicians scattered all over the world ready to jump in and start working on this album. Under the current circumstances with many people, including musicians, affected by Coronavirus, remote collaboration is a perfect way to keep going and keep creating. If the budget allows I will invite musicians from different corners of the world to put our creativity together and release something MAGICAL! ✨
HERE’S HOW THE FUNDS WILL BE USED:
• Recording, mixing, producing - $7000
• Mastering - $840
• Creating album art, photoshoot, designing merchandise $1000
• CD duplication $742
• Rewards costs (getting together all the rewards, printing the T-shirts, cards etc) - $1800
•IndieGoGo 5% fee - $550
Risks and challenges
For an independent artist like me, the biggest challenge is trying to stay afloat and record new material as the costs involved in the recording are so great. If I don’t make the target and I am unable to raise the funds, I will have to put my album on hold and it may take me another year or more of saving to raise the funds needed to record it. I have already gone through the process of releasing CDs three times in the past. I must admit I have never been as committed to my music goals as right now. Though there is always the chance of unforeseen delays I am CONFIDENT that the album will be in your hands by a reasonable date!
Every backer will receive an immediate reward - my new single "Shallop" (it hasn't been released yet!!!) plus Russian Version of this song. Also, behind-the-scene footages of me in the studio and will hear stories behind songs and recording processes. (The download will arrive within 24 hours. Please check your SPAM folder if you don't get the songs or send me a message.)
