Short Summary
Be a direct part of the official production of my next album Heart Breaking Open by a professional sound engineer/producer/music wizard named Watashi.
This would cover the entire costs of production of my album which is already written and recorded, I just need your help in getting it mixed and mastered to the next level, as well as the small fees to use Indiegogo.
This would be so incredible because it could help elevate these songs and touch and move people so much more deeply than I could alone. For those who don't know - songwriting and the sound engineering are two totally different things and the latter really makes a difference in the quality of the music recording!!
All who contribute $1 or more will be mentioned in my release video and website as a contributor!
The Story
I am working on my second album, Heart Breaking Open.. a collection of songs from the past year that encapsulate gigantic spiritual breakthroughs, their emotions, and how it contributed to not only my "awakening", but feeling myself open deeper for humanity and the world, through often deep and intense initiations that literally broke. my. heart. OPEN.
Anyone who is on their spiritual journey knows how both insanely hard and glorious it can really be and I know will deeply resonate with these songs. I believe that this art has served to not only move me through intense times but will serve as a timeless support and inspiration for all those continuing on their journey through life and becoming stronger in their light, through the often chaotic reality of being a human being.
I am so grateful for my last album, Transforming the Darkness, and this time I am called to go deeper - to ensure that the sound quality is as large as the energetic quality of these songs so that they may expand even more.. touching people on a deeper level. The role of a talented sound engineer is truly a game changer for the life of a song recording. The work they do is on a whole other level.
I found a magical producer and engineer, Watashi, through my singer-songwriter friend Lynn, that I know is perfect for the job - a musical genius. Based on my needs, we came up with a plan of $500 per track, and I have 7 tracks - 2 of which are already in the works thanks to prior donations to the project by you all!
I knew this was outside of my budget, but I also knew it would happen as it was divinely meant to.
Someone recommended starting a crowd funding campaign and it resonated.
Then, as I began making it, I kept running into resistance - am I really going to ask people for money? Who am I to do this? Am I sure? All this money for my art?
This is so out of my comfort zone.
I realized as I kept moving through that it was an amazing opportunity to expand past my own limits in so many ways - not only for myself but for others. I see the beauty of giving people I love the chance to be actively involved actually makes this album SO MUCH MORE MEANINGFUL!!
I mean.. how amazing is it to get a little piece of so many amazing peoples energies involved in the creation of this heartfelt album? Divine. It makes it so much greater, in my opinion, to work with my community of people on it.
Any little bit helps - of all the hundreds or maybe thousands that see this - if you only donated $5 or even $1, we could fund it almost overnight. Check out the "perks" or rewards that come with the donation as well!
Of all the things we invest that much into on a daily basis, I can tell you, at least in my heart, that this is an investment in something beautiful and true for humanity.
Everyone who donates just $1 I will credit in the publishing of my album on my website and wherever else I can, to honor all who supported me in this endeavour (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).
I am hoping to have the album released in the Spring either in March or April!
Thank you so much for reading and your time!!

All donations go directly towards music production of the album and any fees on the Indiegogo app. If I exceed my goal, donations will go towards the distribution and further promoting of the album.
