Save Bill's Home and Livelihood!
BILL ROBERTS HAS A WEEK TO SAVE HIS HOME AND AUDIO-MASTERING STUDIO.
Bill is a musician and audio mastering artist with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Bill is extremely high functioning and his ability to play, mix and master music with extreme perfection and attention to detail, is astonishing. However certain aspects of life can prove challenging. Bill has had a particularly hard time navigating our legal system that is now taking away his home and livelihood.
Bill had less than $13,000 (16 payments) left on his mortgage when he was struck with financial hardships and an avalanche of personal losses, including a disabling accident involving his sister, the death of his father and the death of his faithful pup of 18 years.
On February 13th, 2014 his modest lot and mobile home that also houses his recording/mixing/mastering studio will go up for public auction unless he can produce $20,600.00 ($13,000 + Legal Fees). We know that it is a pipe dream to accrue that much money in the time allotted, but we had to try. Bill's life and home are worth the effort!
If we do not reach our goal, any amount collected will go toward relocating Bill and help him re-establish his studio so that he may have the chance to get back on his feet. He hopes to continue recording, mixing, mastering albums and building his KA1's--the most amazing speakers around.
Above is Bill with his KA1 speakers, powered by a Belles Amp. Here he stands with Mr. David Belles, Designer and Creator of Belles HI Fidelity Amplifiers.
Bill has been involved with albums and bands that we all have encountered, The Alan Parsons Project, Little Jimmy Dickens, Bud Powell, Elliot James, Chet Baker and Sara Vaughn. Locally in Pensacola, he has mastered for many artist and musicians including Valerie George (Nam June Psyche), Joseph Jones (Balder-),
Damien Louviere, Shadowyze, Paloma, Pioneers! O Pioneers, and many, many more.
Bill is brilliant, talented, and above all, is a kind, giving person. He has contributed many offerings of music and creativity to the world. He needs us to give back.
