It's been a dream of mine to record in studio, and to work with a producer. I feel like I could really come alive working with someone else in the studio, I feel like I could do so much more with my songs with the help of someone who really knows what they are doing, as far as the technology side goes. I've done well myself to record at home but after my last album "First Love" I told myself that the next project I do I would do it in the studio.
During my time here in Redding, California I have reached out to a few producers to work with. There is a guy here named Paul Arend, he's a young producer/composer who works with Bethel Music. I really feel something special in his work and we are both excited about working together. He's produced some of his own music and I really like what he's done, I think that what him and I could come up with would be really beautiful. The best way to work with him right now is to do a single and then if I feel good about it then go for an EP. I would do a kickstarter and raise money to record an EP later on. The song will be put on iTunes and Spotify for you to listen to when this is complete.
I'm taking a risk by paying half of the money upfront, it will be coming out of my own pocket. I'm believing that the full amount will come in and I will be reimbursed.
Here is a breakdown of the spending of this project:
$600-$800 per song
$300 for Mixing
$100 for Mastering
