Synopsis

Coming Home to the Soul is a contemporary musical blending original songs written by Homegrown Collective exploring what it means to come home to yourself—emotionally, spiritually, and creatively.

Inspiration

The origin of “Coming Home to the Soul” began during the pandemic, when artists in Los Angeles were craving community and connection. In response, we created songwriting sessions called Sunday Sauce, where musicians could come together, share their stories, and write music as a collective. Through these gatherings, the founders of Homegrown Recording felt a deep calling to co-create a musical experience with Homegrown Collective—one that allows artists to share the music created during Sunday Sauce and their own, encourages audiences to go back into community and, most importantly, back into themselves: their tenderness, their courage, their joy, and their sense of belonging.

Desire for Support

This fundraiser supports the FNAM Showcase at Catalina Jazz Club, a pivotal moment in bringing this vision to life. The funds raised will directly support the development and presentation of this work—covering musician/artist compensation, rehearsal space, production costs, and the continued creation of music that’s rooted in depth, integrity, and service. It also allows for the time and resources to fully show up creatively, without rushing or compromising the heart of the project. Your support helps transform a vision into a lived, shared experience that can touch many lives.

If this project resonates with you, please know that your support is more than financial—it’s an act of belief. It’s saying yes to art that slows us down, reconnects us, and reminds us who we are. I truly believe music can be a place of refuge and renewal, and by supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping create that space for many others. I’m deeply grateful to walk this path with a community that values soul, intention, and love.
