Who am I? Good question!!
I am Lori Citro, singer/songwriter, fulltime musican, teacher, mother. I wear many hats (and shoes) and struggle to keep it all together. My songwriting is a reflection of the richness and depth my life entails...love, hope, happiness, heartbreak, and humor.
What the heck are you raising the money for?
I am raising the money to fund a new CD "Porcelain Heart" . This new CD captures the idea that we are all a little broken, and that's how the light gets in! Many of the songs were written and hand-picked with you in mind, knowing we ALL are a trying to make sense of this life.
How will the money be used?
It takes a village to make a CD! Studio time, musicians, mastering, production, artwork, shipping, promotions...it's overwhelming. I know this all too well, having fully funded my previous 3 CD's. As a single mom struggling to make a living as an artist , I simply can't do it alone.
Why does this mean so much to me?
Not only will I be making this CD for myself, I plan to teach some of my students the process of recording by using the backing tracks for a student project. The students will add their vocals and instrumentation to my originals for a their own personal demo!! I find this part of the project very exciting as an educator, going beyond just teaching a child to sing or play an instrument. I feel like teaching this process to my students has a huge impact on their lives and the future of their music! I wish someone had done this for me.
How thankful will I be??
OH SO THANKFUL!! Undying gratitude, you can have my cats, my heirs, my red shoes! I will cook you dinner, clean your house, marry you.
OK, maybe NOT all those things, but I will be very thankful and grateful. Together we will be co-creators of music. YOU will giving life to the music and your gift ensures that the songs live on. And for that I am more grateful than I can express in words.
