Hi, I'm Shelby Figueroa and this is my Indiegogo Campaign!
So, like I said in my video, I have been singing and playing the piano since I was a young kid. However, I was pretty shy and didn't perform in front of people for a very long time. After much encouragement, playing music in church, and writing some original songs, I finally ventured out to some local open mics. This is when I met Steve and Polly Hoganson, owners of local music venue, Zoey's Cafe. They told me to try out for their "Ones to Watch" competition and I ended up winning 2nd place!
Many concerts and opportunities followed and before I knew it people were asking me where they could buy my music and letting me know how much it touched them. That's when I knew I needed to start this campaign. I feel that recording a 5 song EP would be the next step to launching my passion for music into a career. As a contributor, you would be vital in this life changing opportunity.
What We Need & What You Get
So to record this EP its going to cost $15,000. This is going to pay for production, engineering, packaging, artwork, and distribution. We are going to be using Transmitter Studios, co-owned by Joe Baugh and Miles Ferrell!
To make this a fun experience, we set up some really great perks for those who contribute! They range from T-shirts, digital downloads, and a thank-you on my EP to free event performances, personalized songs, and studio recording time!!! There's even a trip to disneyland with the band (mickey ears included)
If I don't reach my goal, whatever I do recieve will go towards recording...but indiegogo does charge an additional fee for those who dont meet their goal and that would impact my total even more. With your help, I'm hoping to have a successful indiegogo campaign.
The Impact
I am overwhelmed and so grateful for the response I have already recieved. Its a great feeling knowing that my music has brought so much joy and happiness to you all and I'm glad you support my passion for it. Having a professionally recorded EP will enable me to share my music with even more people and open the door for even more opportunities.
Other Ways You Can Help
Again, I thank all of you for your continued support of my music. I know that not everyone can give financially. If you're unable to give financially, I would ask that you take a moment to share this project with your friends and followers. Much love and peace, <3 Shelby
