Raising funds for next album on GoFundMe.com
Hello everyone! Thanks for visiting my website.
In 2003 I release my first album Immortal. In addition to SoundClick.com, it was featured on NPR, WXPN In Philadelphia and online on Radio Paradise, Jamendo, Magnatune and LastFM to name a few. I also got played on many college radio stations and many podcasts and web streams. The reviews were pretty good for the most part and over the last 8 years I have sold a few albums and many people have purchased the music through Itunes, CD Baby or other digital distribution sites.
I have started work on my next album and I need your help. I have created a project site at GoFundMe.com so that people can donate to my musical project. I need 500 people to donate $5 per month for the next 3 months so that I can focus solely on creating music.
I am hopeful that this next album will allow me to make music my livelihood. I have a great deal of music ready to record and I just need the resources to focus on making music.
I hope you can help me. Please visit my GoFundMe.com website where you can make a donation and follow the progress of my work and my fundraising. Any amount you can send my way will be appreciated whether its $5 or $100 dollars.
