Help me Release BEAUTIFUL MACHINE
(and get some beautiful things in return š)
Hello dear human.
I've launched a crowdfunding campaign to to ask YOU (my amazing fan) to help me pay for pressing the album on CD and Vinyl.
Because, honestly, I don't have any cash left.
Last year, 364 fans helped me raise $6635 (to help pay for recording expenses) by naming their price to buy a digital download of my very first album Daydreamer š
My fans on Patreon helped me cover a bit more of the recording expenses + the mixing and mastering š
Iām so grateful for this support š
Everything else, I've paid for myself.
The main other expense for the album itself was CD & Vinyl art design, but to get ready to tour the album has been a HUGE upfront cost:
MERCH (very important for helping make touring viable) = Printing new t-shirts, affirmation cards and notebooks; Getting more necklaces made, making prints, and making some very cool new merch which I'll share soon š®
MARKETING = insane amounts of money on ads, so i can reach old and new fans with details about each show. I've found this to be way more effective than paying for traditional publicity or radio campaigns - but it means i'm paying thousands out before i even start the tour.
CREATIVE = paying my awesome teammate Tyler to help me set up the new songs in Ableton, so I can make the show really unique and special āØ
So yeah...... that's got me scraping the bottom of the barrel which is fine - i understand i gotta invest before I can earn.
But I genuinely don' t have anything left to invest š
AND, as you might or might not already know, I love coming up with fun ways to share songs and merch with my amazing community so that you get something special, and I get the cash money I need to keep on keeping on.
SO!
If any of the below rewards pique your interest I would LOVE for you to head to the crowdfund and pledge š We have until 11pm on Thursday 5th March to reach the $12,500 target š
I love a good challenge š
