I am raising funds for my new studio session video project.

I have a brand new batch of songs, plus a few fresh arrangements of songs from my previous project, "COMMON ROMANCE" that I plan to record live in studio.

Total, it will be 9 songs, (with the potential for up to 12 if funding is fully achieved). Guest vocalists, strings, woodwinds, and a choir of background singers will fill out the ensemble for each video. I will play keys. Each video will be a a stripped down, acoustic version (think Tiny Desk vibes) of my songs so every performer will be able to shine.

I need help to pay for:

Studio time ($45+/hr.)

Musicians & Vocalists hourly recording rate ($150/hr.)

Videographer

Rehearsal time

The video sessions will then be slowly released on social media, YouTube, and my website. The recordings may be released on streaming as well.

The goal of these videos is to promote the incredible talents of the Chicago creatives I have on board, my new music, as well as start buzz for an eventual live show (or shows!) in 2027.

I can't wait for you to hear these songs!
