After 5 Music Album Support

The After Five Music Album Support Campaign is to enhance promotion and marketing, assist with cost of printing hard copies and merchandise for the After Five Music album. First impressions are lasting impressions and having your support in ensuring I present the best product possible would mean the world to me. 

After Five Music is a soulful, jazz influenced project that reflects our everyday experiences. My most recent single, "One Summer's Eve," a Motown inspired composition, is just a taste of what you can expect to hear. This project is a reflection of the honest,intentional conversations we have  After Five. After Five, we explore the memories of blossoming love, let-downs, and hopes for a better tomorrow with those we trust and love.

Meet me After Five and lets find a common ground!
