Hey! My name is Elijah and I was born and raised here in Madison, Alabama. I’ve been surrounded by music for as long as I can remember and started playing guitar when I was 8. When I was in middle school, I started making songs on free versions of software and in high school I started to compose music seriously. Now I have decided to dedicate my life to music and have enrolled at Bowling Green State University’s prestigious composition program beginning this fall. My excitement in exploring the worlds of progressive metal and contemporary classical music has led me here today to ask for your help in funding my most exciting endeavor yet.

My debut progressive metal record “Clairvoyant” is my biggest project yet; a 5-track instrumental record with all guitars and production done by me inspired by everything from Between the Buried and Me, Bjork, and the string quartets of Bela Bartok. I believe this record is an authentic expression of myself and my interests in the vast world of music.

I have set this goal to $2,500. In funding this record I will be able to hire a professional audio engineer to both mix and master the record, as well as pay for the album features, art, and promotional material. This record is truly a labor of love but also a testament of appreciation to all that have supported me this far in my musical career. I hope to convert every dollar shared into a moment of enjoyment for the said benefactor, and your support will not go without thanks! Depending on how much you donate you will receive fun perks from me as listed below.

$10+ One-week early access to digital album

$25+ Access to my exclusive livestream listening party and Q&A + early access to digital album

$50+ A T shirt + access to livestream + early access to digital album

$100+ Official guitar tabs and signed Clairvoyant poster + T shirt + access to livestream + early access to digital album

I understand that some of you may be strapped for money and cannot financially support me at this time and that is totally okay! I would love it if you showed support through sharing this GoFundMe page and any of my social media with your friends in person or on social media. It would mean the world to me!

I truly do thank every single one of you that supports me. It is people like you that inspire me to continue pursuing what I love, and I am indebted with utmost gratitude.

Thank you so much,

Elijah Arthur Stewart
