Lay it down
This is it friends.
All or nothing!
I will record my next album, as long as there are people who want it. My fundraising goal is the minimum I need to record the album and break even. Help me hit that target and continue onward! To the West, to the East, to the Farrrr East!
I have been practicing fearlessness with my new songs and poems. My new music will comfort your tired soul and get groovy with your inner dancing star. I'm going back to my roots! The song styles include: 90s rnb/pop influenced patriarchy takedowns, sing-along folk anthems, sit-back-and-chill guitar songs - you'll love it.
I've been writing, performing, organizing, promoting - hustling nonstop as a full-time artist since spring 2013. I am completely independent - no manager, no booking agent, no label - It's all me. Putting up this pre-order has been a grand achievement!
You all know that I care deeply about building community through art. I have given a lot of myself. I need your support in return.
Fund Breakdown
The money will go to studio time and pressing the records. Super.
The Impact
Rhetorical questions to make my point:
- How are we going to build an awesome local independent music scene if listeners never buy the art?
- Who else will be the rad asian womxn soul-folk spoken word artist from K-flippin-W to be the next national sensation?
- If I give up on my art career, who will run the poetry slam?!
Other Ways You Can Help
- Share this with your friends who need my music in their life
- Write a nice comment, or be my friend in real time
- Buy my previous albums and poetry books here: janicelee.bandcamp.com
- Follow me on the internet. Each like and follow is a micro-encouragement which actually really helps with my self esteem and artist legitimacy!
Thank you. I believe in me! And you can too!
