Help Chris Taylor Keep Making Music

My name is Chris Taylor and I'm a musician and a visual artist. In today's day and age, a musician & visual artist needs a good computer to record their music on and make prints of their artwork among other things. Recently, my computer's hard drive was fried and I lost everything on it: original music, my Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator programs and other personal photos etc. 

I want to continue making music and artwork in it's many forms but now I'm starting from ground zero to build back up a "home studio" of sorts. I've made my last 5 albums from home. There's no way I could afford to record in a professional studio at hundreds of dollars per hour for each record I put out.

I've never done a crowd funded project before but now seems like the perfect time. 

I'm in the process of writing for a new album and have a few musicians coming in to record their music with me before the end of the year. Something creative is always going on in my Creative Space!

If you're so inclined to be a part of my musical and artistic future, it would mean the world to me. I know how hard money is to come by for so many of us. I rely on gigs and art sales for every bit of income I make & I'm grateful to cover the bills month to month. 

By doing this, you are partnering up with me to create beautiful, wild music and art for my growing TRIBE of friends and fans for years to come!

Thank you so much.
Chris
