Help DeRock Build New Studio / Replace Stolen Gear

Can’t believe I’m asking for help like this, but my backpack with all of my recording gear and laptop was stolen from my friend’s vehicle while loading into a studio on Friday March 1st. The contents alone are worth about $5000, plus months of recording work was lost, which is hundreds of hours and countless thousands more...priceless really. Your contribution will help me to replace my laptop and audio interface and repurchase needed software. Making music is not just my life but also my livelihood. I’ve had to cancel/postpone a couple of paid productions and I won’t be able to survive without help from friends and family. It’s always my goal to give back to the community, and I frequently give free or low cost services to those in need. Please help me to continue to be an asset to the community, I can’t continue without your help!! Any amount small or large is appreciated!!

And if you can’t contribute financially you can help by sharing this page, or referring me for freelance or full-time work. I play bass, acoustic guitar, piano, and drums; teach music lessons; songwriting sessions; dogsitting & housesitting; marketing and event management for agencies and brands; tech work like setting up & troubleshooting computers (OS X); data entry; proficient in Excel & PowerPoint; event flyer design; production assistant for film/tv/events; and I’m open to anything & everything, thanks!!

***DEC 2019 UPDATE: All New Contributions will go towards studio soundproofing and much needed hardware/software upgrades!!***
