Almost one year ago, I picked up a ukulele and started writing my own music. I decided to enter UCLA’s Spring Sing with my band, JADED, and we auditioned with the first song I had written, “Dancing Around”. Not only were we accepted into the show, but we ended up winning the band category! Performing my first original song with JADED in Pauley Pavilion was such a surreal experience, and I am so thankful for the opportunity.


My passion for writing and performing my own music has only grown since Spring Sing: I’ve written enough music for two albums and have had such a blast getting to perform on campus at UCLA and in the Los Angeles area.


Here’s where you come in:


I’ve decided that this is the time to start recording my first album. I am so excited to start working, and to eventually share my music on different platforms— for this to happen, I need some funds!  


~*Cost Breakdown*~


As of right now, the album is going to be 8 tracks long.

If the fundraiser goes well,  we’re hoping to release the album sometime between March - June 2019.

With a production rate of $100 per song and $150 per track for mastering, I’m also hoping to do at least two music videos. 

The approximate total of tracking the album is $2000, but I’d really like to have at least $300 to fall back on in order to pay instrumentalists, vocalists, and other artists who will be featured on the album too!


If you wanna know more details about the album and my plans for it, feel free to reach out to me! Thank you  so much for visiting this page and donating. Anything helps! I'll also be posting "rewards" for donations soon (i.e. cover videos for donations, etc).
