<div>Dear Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of you know me from Sarasota, FL. Some of you attended "Authentic Voicework" workshops or saw me perform early music, world, The Resonance Project, etc.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2019, I went through a painful divorce and a painful separation from my music partner. We uprooted from Florida, where we'd been for 17 years, and moved back to Bloomington, Indiana, to continue co-parenting our son, separately. Bloomington is home to a different musical past for me, 25 years ago when I sang with the a cappella group, "VIDA" for seven years. I started the transition to Bloomington with a bang. I started performing. Started recording an album. I even traveled to Sweden and led a week-long Authentic Voicework retreat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then, the pandemic hit, and everything stopped.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've been in this creative limbo for nearly three years - not quite launched, not quite landed. Neither here nor there. A few new music partnerships. Not much networking or playing with other musicians in a pandemic.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, during the pandemic, I worked in the studio with the brilliant Dave Weber of <a href="https://www.airtimestudios.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AirTime Studios</a> in Bloomington, IN. In some ways, recording songs and sharing it with the world (or performing) it's like verification or validation that your creative self exists. Without performance, it's like not having a voice at all. People see you, but they don't really know who you are or what you are about, or the magic within you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had a great contract marketing job that paid all the bills (as well as studio time) for a while, but it's been tough finding work lately. So I got my massage license again and have been doing that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With that said, I'm starting a crowd fundraiser to finish my album "Starseed." I need approximately 20 hours in the studio, mastering, and the time required to work on writing, music, and lyrics. About one-to-two weeks of dedicated focus time are needed to accomplish this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here's an approximate budget:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$1000 20-hrs studio
</div>
<div>$500 Mastering 10-songs
</div>
<div>$2000 Living expenses
</div>
<div>$1000 Other expenses (pay other musicians, marketing, distribution expenses)
</div>
<div>--------------------------
</div>
<div>$5,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is some incredible talent on several songs, including Tom Clark, Julian Douglas, Steve Mascari, Joanna Hyde and Dave Weber. I feel very lucky and super grateful to collaborate with such wonderful musicians.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have yet to write the title track song, which the album is named after. But I know that is coming - last, but not least. It is an album that will help launch my re-entry into music, and say "Hey! it's been a while, but here I am!" to the world that once knew me as a musician. And to know that part of me is still here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Take a listen<strong> </strong><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ePhGQfXY_1ld3iK11VpaULPcgTXzTjcd/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>here</strong></a><strong> </strong>for a preview of a track, a 13th-century Spanish Cantiga 180: Vélla e Minya, Madr' e Donzéla (maiden-mother-crone).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you for your support!</strong>
