Short Summary
Linzi Gold is a singer/songwriter and artist from Manchester. On 25th December 2014 she was 'discovered' by manager Alan Whitehead. Since then we have been trying to raise funds to help Linzi create an EP, a music video and have a professional photoshoot in order to present her to the labels.
The last campaign managed to raise £1581 of the needed £4000, since then we, her parents, have been helping out as much as we can.
Linzi is now at a stage where the EP has been finished, the photoshoot took place shortly afterwards and the Video is due to be filmed in July 2015.
Now she needs to continue work on her first album. Writing and recording more songs could be crucial to her potential to work in the industry as, with a full set of her own songs, she can then go out and perform them.
Linzi is on the cusp of a life changing experience. All she needs is a little help and support from anyone who wants to see a young person, with real talent, make something of themselves.
Here's two more of the songs, available to listen on YouTube:

What We Need & What You Get
We already have 4 songs - we need to record another 6.
Each track costs £500 to do. Can you help us reach our goal of £3500?
Initally we will be offering the full album as a perk if you donate £15 - because of the cost of producing these, this will be a physical copy if you are in the UK, or email of the MP3 version of all the tracks if you are anywhere else in the world.
This money will go to creating the tracks, paying for the CDs to be burnt and for the album cover design as well as the creation of each track.
Costings: 6 x £500 for tracks (£3000)
CDs/CD Cases/Booklets/Postage/Cover Design/Signed photographs £500
Of course you can donate any amount at all to help Linzi. All donations will be gratefully received.
The Impact
With a full set of songs Linzi will be in a position to perform and start earning money to help towards her own career. This could be a life changing experience for her and you could be part of that.
What you will receive is a beautiful album of thought-provoking, excitingly different music.
Risks and Challenges
Whatever you give will help towards the album. The only risk is that we may not reach our full goal - in which case we may not be able to make all of the 6 new songs. However, you will still receive your perk with as many songs as we can make on it.
Other Ways You Can Help
You can share this campaign with your friends. Get the word out and generate interest in Linzi and her music. This greatly improves her chances of being picked up by a label too - because views/hits mean popularity and the labels watch potential artists to see how the word is spreading about them.
- Use the Indiegogo share tools and this also helps us see how the campaign is trending.
