Update: We did it! And now the work truly begins. Ladies and gentlemen, we're making a documentary.

When I was about 7 years old, I heard of this magical place called 'The NAMM Show' where every year, music instrument companies would come together in Anaheim, California to show off their new gear and new inventions while some of the greatest artists and musicians of all time would come from around the world to network, jam, and play to their heart's content.

From the day I heard of this place, it was my DREAM just to GO there. Just to be in that space as an attendee and experience this environment...

As time tends to do, my life since then has *drastically* changed.

I've had the opportunity, as an independent artist, to share stages with Grammy® Award-winning artists, traveled across and outside of the United States on tour, performed on legendary stages such as the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York and The Viper Room on the Sunset Strip, I've been seen on TV on the FOX show 'The Four: Battle for Stardom', was the recipient

of the 2022 Liverpool International Songwriter Award for my song

'Alone' among over 22,000 entries from around the world, and took the leap to audition for the 22nd and latest season of American Idol (and got a Golden Ticket in the process).

Along with all of that, on Sunday, January 28th, 2024, I was not only able to BE at the NAMM Show - I (along with a collection of some of the greatest musicians, singers, and dancers I've ever met in my life) CLOSED OUT the MAIN STAGE at the NAMM Show.

Of course, being given this massive opportunity, I only wanted to do this at the highest quality to the best of my ability with the most talented people I know... to the point that we put together what would otherwise have been at least a $40,000 production (accounting for basic operating expenses alone) and with hard work, dedication, and the help of some wonderful people and entities that believe in what we're doing, we were able to pull it all together with nothing near that amount.

Now, we're gearing up to tell the story - and oh, do we have a story to tell! After capturing and organizing hundreds of hours of photos and footage from interviews, rehearsals, and more, we came to realize that this project has become so much bigger than we initially thought and dives into the depths of the core of why we do what we do. This is a story that we believe the world needs to see - and that's where you come in!

With your help, we can make this childhood-dream-turned-reality come to life on screen! Some of the expenses we need help covering include:

Together, you can change the course of an otherwise nearly impossible undertaking and be a part of something etched in musical history and the beginning stages of something great.

Thank you so much in advance!

With love,

Edi Callier
