Hi! I'm Nathalie Hope. Welcome to my campaign!
Thank you so much for taking some time to read a little about me and the heart behind this EP!
I'll start by introducing myself. I'm Nathalie Hope...Hi!! I've been married to my sweet & talented husband (the man behind the camera/graphics) for 10 years, we have 2 amazing kids (age 7 & 5), and we live in a small town right outside of Nashville, Tennessee. I've always been passionate about music, and I'm so grateful I'm get to live out that passion every day.
Over the last several months I've been writing songs specifically for this project. A lot of thought, prayer, scripture meditation, and heart to heart conversations went into creating these songs, and I'm so excited to share them with you.
As I shared in the video, I've been writing music and singing for quite some time. It's been within the last couple of years that I've realized that leading worship and writing worshipful music is where I feel most at home in my heart. The songs on this project come from a new season of my life in which the Lord has been showing me who I am/who we are in Him; as his children and as His Church. As we were writing the songs, my heart was inspired to make music that's accessible to the listener/worshiper--no matter the season, walk of life, or circumstances. The songs come from a personal place in my own walk with Him, but they were written for us. My prayer is that these songs will become a collective prayer, celebration, and declaration of truth, and ultimately, lift your eyes to Jesus.
WILL YOU JOIN ME?
As an independent artist, I get the creative freedom to make the music I feel inspired to make. That's awesome and such a blessing! However, the challenge is not having a label with funds to make this project happen. I humbly and joyfully invite you to join with me and help me make this EP a reality.
(What's an EP? It simply stands for "Extended Play". It's a recording that has more songs than just a single, and fewer than a full length studio album)
What We Need & What You Get
Here's the breakdown of costs to record 4 songs:
- It will cost $1500 per song, which includes studio time, the producer, musicians, mixing and mastering.
- The price to press & package CDs is around $300
- About 7-8% of the total raised goes to Indiegogo fees and processing fees.
- Miscellaneous (packing & shipping cost, etc) $300-$500
That's a grand total of $7,350.

Risks & Challenges
Scheduling and coordinating musicians, studio time, and the mixing and mastering process makes it challenging to pinpoint an exact release date. BUT, we've already been working on that to make sure we can give you a good estimated date now, and a firm date in the weeks to come!
