My Story (The Semi-Short Version)

In 2009, I found myself searching for meaning in what was to be my future. I listened to the millions of intelligent minds who told me that pursuing music was too risky and too much heartache while not being a “real” profession. I gave up on myself and my dreams because they weren’t popular, and because they were honestly, frightening. I have come very far from the yearning to win a popularity contest, but at that time, I was too scared to take a step back and realize the path that I had chosen was not true to who I was.

Over the next few years, I worked tirelessly at things unrelated to what made me happiest, in order to be comfortable and to fit a mold– A mold that someone else created for another human being. Ultimately, my goal of being comfortable backfired.

In January of 2016, I instead decided to begin saying "yes" to the things that scared me. I said "yes" to chopping off my hair because I was having a hard time finding beauty in myself in my rawest form and feeling like I was enough. I said "yes" to quitting my full-time job to pursue music as my primary career and to make a mold of my own. I said "yes" to moving to Los Angeles this year to face new, uncomfortable environments, learn more about the business, and challenge myself to relocate on my own because I know I have a lot to learn.

Now, I now can honestly say that I am going after my dreams!!!!!! (Whoooohooooo) Although I am busier than ever, I wake up every day with purpose, and most of all– I am smiling again. I am beginning to fear more, but embrace it. I am beginning to love myself and every step of my journey. I can’t begin to describe how that feels.

I am one of one million musicians, this I understand. However, this makes me excited because that means there are a million others to learn from, a million others to create with and a million others who know exactly what I am going through. 

This is just the beginning for me! However, in order to start this journey and show you my vision in its proper form, I am going to need some help!

What Is This About & What You Get

As a first step in fully pursuing music as a career, I am recording my first solo EP to share the musical experience that I have been curating live in a much larger form–the way have always envisioned it. This EP will feature 3 songs, and one bonus track, and will be my first recorded project featuring a full-band sound. I am in the studio now beginning this process and am watching my ideas come to life… and doing the robot every day with excitement because of it.

There are many donation packages with perks that you can select to help me finalize this project on the right-hand side! Also, donors regardless of donation amount will be able to:

  • Be a part in finalizing the art for the t-shirts, album and other merch (First week donors only)
  • Receive sneak peaks into the recording process as we finish (Throughout campaign)
  • Receive a private link to the "Run" music video prior to the public release (All donors)

What Have I Already Accomplished?

Since January 15th, when I dedicated myself to music as my primary career I have:

- Recorded and digitally released "Run" the single for the EP 

- Began recording all remaining songs on the album

- Began designing the album art and merchandise for the EP

- Coordinated a single release show previewing the music on my upcoming EP

- Been nominated in the singer-songwriter category for the 2016 Sammies Awards

- Designed and released my official music website: Rebeccapetersmusic.com 

- Featured in the first episode of the "Sunday Serenade" YouTube series

- Began performing solo regularly and releasing content of just me and the guitar 

- Appeared on Insight by Capital Public Radio & Fox40 to promote the EP/ play live 

- Been featured in SN&R, Altitude and Sunset In The Rearview 

- Been featured on the "Local Licks" segment on 98 Rock with my single "Run"

- Helped edit and release the video for this IndieGoGo campaign!

& I am so excited to keep going!!!

What Still Needs To Be Funded:

Although all of the studio time for recording and developing the three main songs on the EP has been covered on my end, in order to completely fund this project and the perks for this campaign, I'm looking for support in the following areas:

- Studio Musicians: $1,750

- Mixing and Mastering the EP: $2,250

- Merchandise: $1,500

- Music Video For "Run": $1,000

The Impact

I am moving to LA to begin my journey mid-April and in order to gain any traction in as an artist or songwriter, I will need content. You all will be helping me on my very first step!

Other Ways You Can Help

Guys, if anyone understands a lack of funds, it is I, the newly (mostly) unemployed singer-songwriter. However, there is something that is nearly just as valuable in the music industry at this point, and that is online presence. You can help out by doing the following:

  • Share this IndieGoGo campaign link on your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media pages (hit that "Share" button on the IndieGoGo page!) with other music lovers!

  • Share my single “Run” and music video on social platforms (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.)

  • Follow me on Instagram: @Rebeccapetersmusic

  • “Like” & Follow “Rebecca Peters Music” on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Rebeccapetersmusic/?fref=ts
