If a tree falls in the forest and no one's around, did it even fall?  Yes, but nobody heard it.  The same thing happens when there is no money put behind an album.  If I can't get my music in front of people, they won't hear it.  

Who I Am

Jackson Hunter, March 2020.  Shot by Yessenia Hernandez (IG: yessniah).

My name is Jackson Hunter and I am a musician based out of Los Angeles, CA, originally from San Diego, CA.  I have been writing music since I was 10 years old and it's the one thing that feels like magic to me.  I have put my entire life into what I do and it has given that back tenfold.  However, I have yet to meet the right person or team willing to put some real money behind what I do.  And, without capital, especially to promote, I have yet to break the surface of my potential audience.

I have written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered nine projects in the genre of hip hop.  I am currently putting the final touches on my upcoming album and I will share my soul with you through it.  To launch my professional career as a musician, I am asking for your support by pre-ordering my upcoming album or purchasing one of the other perks on the right side of the page.

 

Jackson Hunter, March 2020.  Shot by Yessenia Hernandez (IG: yessniah).

I have been without a roof over my head and skipped meals in order to pursue music.  I have survived alcoholism and drug addiction and I am now five years clean.  I have worked 80-hour weeks since graduating college in 2016 and still barely make ends meet, living frugally in Los Angeles.  Still, I have accomplished more than I ever thought possible, and that was with $0 behind me and no manager, assistant, lawyer, public relations, marketing team nor record label. 

Now imagine what will happen when I have financial backing to get my work in front of the whole world's eyes and ears.  Watch the 2018 and 2019 recap videos and you will see the trajectory I am on.  There are no limits to how many more loyal listeners I can earn respect from and how many more cities I can perform in.

Artists I Have Opened For:

Big Sean, Yelawolf (twice), Machine Gun Kelly, The Game, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony (twice), Benny The Butcher, Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, Too $hort, Ying Yang Twins, KRS-One, Baby Bash, Frankie J, Pretty Ricky, Immortal Technique, Andre Nickatina (four times), The Grouch, Murs, Evidence, Sick Jacken, Chip Tha Ripper, Daylyt and more.  Since 2016, I have performed over 200 times throughout Southern California as well as Miami, Florida and Austin, Texas.

The time is now.  Let's grow together and build something unbelievable. 

Jackson Hunter's upcoming full-length album will be released June 2020.

 

My Work

Gallows and Safehouse (Latest full-length album)

 

 


 

What I Need

With my goal of $20,000, it will be enough to get off the ground and achieve the platform I need to make a full-time living while sharing my story.  In case you are not aware, many popular musicians who make a full-time living doing what they love had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars or more to be in the position they are.  This capital is used to get their story and their art in front of the world through marketing and advertising.

 

How Funds Will Be Used

10% or $2,000 for Professional Mix/Master

-Mixing is the process of taking individual audio tracks and blending them to achieve one overarching sound.  Mastering is when an audio engineer adjusts audio frequencies to put the final color on the piece of music.  I will be contracting a professional audio engineer to handle these crucial parts of the post-production phase.

15% or $3,000 for Three Music Videos

-Music videos not only give visual life to songs but they can also handle a hefty load of the marketing.  If a video is clickable and shareable enough, it can lead to millions of views which increases artist exposure.  I will be contracting professional directors to create three groundbreaking music videos.

70% or $14,000 for Marketing & Promotion

-Influencer Marketing Campaigns for total of $7,000

-Facebook and Instagram Advertising Campaign at $2,000

-Billboard Advertising Campaign in Los Angeles at $2,000

-Blog Postings at $1,000

-Spotify Playlist Promotion at $1,000

-Instagram Giveaway Campaigns for total of $1,000

5% or $1,000 for Indiegogo fees

-Indiegogo charges all campaigns a flat fee of 5% of funds raised

What I Am Personally Funding For This Album

-Music Production at $1,500

-Music Recording Equipment at $1,200

-And I have spent well over 1,000 hours sharing my soul on this album so far

 

What You Will Receive

It's up to you.  Depending on the contribution you so graciously give, you can receive a t-shirt, hoodiebeanie, vinyl record of the album, phone casecustom song, Jackson Hunter live performanceadmission to any Jackson Hunter concert for a whole year and/or executive producer title.  All contributors will receive a digital copy of the album on the release date.  All perks include FREE shipping.

If I don't reach the goal of $20,000, I will allocate funds exactly as outlined above.  10% of funds raised will go to mixing and mastering, 15% will go to production for three music videos, 70% will go to marketing and promotion of the album and 5% will go to Indiegogo fees.  If I don't reach the goal of $20,000, you will still receive any and all perks you have selected.

I am curating an album release event to be streamed live on YouTube the day it releases in June.  I would love everyone to tune in, listen to the album for the first time as a community, ask me any questions you'd like and celebrate life.

 

Meet The Producers

I'm not describing the album in detail because I want the listener to have an organic experience but I will say it is produced by Willie B, The Cratez, Nathan Darmody, Phantom Era, Hanto Beatmaker and myself.  Also, the album features artists I have looked up to for years.

 

Willie B is a longtime Top Dawg Entertainment producer who crafted the incredible instrumentals for Kendrick Lamar's "Rigamortis", "03' Adolescence" by J. Cole, songs by ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock and the entire Let There B Lyt album by Daylyt.

 

The Cratez is a multi-platinum production duo based out of Germany.  Artists they have worked with include Joyner Lucas, Juicy J and Rapsody.

 

Nathan Darmody is a music producer based out of San Diego, CA and former guitarist of pop rock group Allstar Weekend.

 

Phantom Era is a talented group of producers featuring Derek Drucker, longtime collaborator of Jackson Hunter as well as out-of-this-world drummer.  They have worked with T.I., The-Dream, LL Cool J and Celine Dion.

 

Hanto Beatmaker is a producer based out of Paris, France, incorporating emotional guitar phrasing with boom bap beats to create moving instrumentals.

 

 

The Impact

If successfully funded, this campaign will provide for the proper launch of Jackson Hunter's musical career.  If we reach the $20,000 mark together, I have a chance of being able to not work endlessly on top of music only to pay the bills.  Cultivating a fan base means being able to support myself through music by giving my entire being to listeners.  I want to help heal and I want to show you how I navigated through my darkest hours.  This music is heavy but it will guide you through to beautiful resolution if allowed.

In 2014, we successfully raised $1,294 via Indiegogo to fund my west coast tour (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tf-mav-provi...).  We surpassed my goal of $1,000 which allowed me to open for artists like Rittz, Raz Simone, Tuki Carter and headline House of Blues Anaheim.  That tour was a master-level music industry course as I navigated the whole thing by myself from booking to promoting to performing.

I take music seriously and I have treated it like a full-time job for a decade plus.  With your contribution I am confident I can launch my professional career by earning a fan base.

Risks & Challenges

Nothing is impossible.  We can reach any goal if we want it badly enough.  The album will be released in June 2020, promoted and a fan base will be built.  Whether you can contribute capital or not, the dream will continue and I appreciate you all the same.  Thank you for listening.

 

Other Ways You Can Help

I understand this is art and there are exorbitantly more pressing matters to tend to.  So if you can't contribute, if you could just share this campaign on Facebook, Instagram or your favorite social media platform, that would help my cause tremendously.  I appreciate all of your support inexplicably and I am indebted to you all forever.  I hope this album helps you feel a little less alone.

With All My Heart,

Jackson Hunter (IG: @jacksonhuntermaverick)
