Hello and Welcome to the beginning of something very special!
My name is Tony Banks. I'm am LGBT hip-hop recording artist trying to pull off something that hasn't been done by anyone probably in the history of lgbt entertainment.
On top of releasing my upcoming EP "Chocolate Cake"

I'm also releasing not one, not two but
THREE music videos!!
All before we say goodbye to 2014 and I need your help!

The goal is 3 music videos to be shot in 3 different locations
First: Boston
This video is a simple 2 hour shoot for a fun one verse song titled "Touch Me" produced by Kitt Holemann
The vision and exciting part will be the 9 piece band and studio set up that will be required for this video. Quirky and Fun and keywords for this production inspired by the world famous Roots Band
Second: New York City
Now we are getting a little more into concept, location, and production hours. This video is in tribute to the classic hip-hop video era as is the song "Old School Love". Throwback to the backyard dance contest, electric slide, DJ and an MC, family and friends.
This video will require multiple locations and the help of choreographers, dancers, family and friends to pull off just right. I've hired popular NYC videographer RED to co-direct this video. She is an amazing cinematographer and also a member of the LGBT community.
Real NYC hip-hop flava will be used for this video and as a Brooklyn/Queens Native I'm very excited about this project.
Third: Los Angeles
That's right! We are traveling to LA for this video to work with super dope videographer and director Gordon Cowie and his team
This will be our biggest production of the three. For the song and title track of the EP "Whip it (Chocolate Cake)".
We are working on cool locations, props, wardrobe, dancers, extras! It's going to be so cool and so much fun.
Attempting to do these three projects takes proper planning, a great team of people and even more important help from someone like you.

We are looking to reach a goal of
$4500 to create all 3 music videos. That includes locations, cast, crew, prop rental and any additional equipment needed.
I am looking forward to putting all my creative energy into something that I have been dreaming about for so long.
