As I'm sure most if not all of you know I'm Ricky Clark, I'm a 31 year old factory working father of two who just wants to make music!
I have been obsessed with all aspects of music since my early teens and have been playing, listening, writing, watching and generally just immersing myself in everything to do with it since.
I started writing and developing songs a good few years ago and when I felt I'd reached a decent level and was happy with them, began recording them.
I enjoy the exciting and creative process of recording immensely but unfortunately I do not get to do it much as I have lots of other commitments.
I worked out that with the current rate that I was recording songs I would be releasing my debut album at about the age of 36...at that age Bob Dylan was working on his 18th album!
Although no spring chicken I feel that NOW is the time to get this project completed and released!
Now here's where you guys come in! the cost to record is £120 per day and I've calculated I need 5 whole days recording to have enough time to get all songs done, mixed then sent off for mastering and CD Production.
I know there's numerous people constantly asking for money for this and that these days and it can all get quite tedious so I'm keeping it cheap and simple here: every penny that is put into this project will go straight into studio time.
There are two options here for people to help to contribute:
1. Digital Album Download in mp3 format at £5
2. Physical Album - signed and numbered on CD at £10
(there will also be options if anyone is feeling extra generous to donate to fund 1/4, 1/2 or a full days recording)
As soon as my goal has been reached or the campaign time is up then I will book up studio time and start recording, here I will post regular updates and all being well everyone will have helped and contributed to me achieving my dream and my album will be released by Summer 2017!
Spread the word and thank you very much in advance for your support and kindness!
