Hey all, my name is Shannon Tehya, and I'm a musician in the capital region. As many of you know, I've been working on an album project this last year. As my project nears completion, I'm faced with the harsh reality of just how much of a financial set back this work has cost me, and will continue to cost me. I want to continue to be able to share my art with the world, and due to health reasons I have not been able to work as often as normal, which has led to some scary realities in my world of finances. I'm swallowing my pride and creating this fundraiser in the hopes that some people out there who are experiencing more financial abundance than I am might want to help me pay off some off the costs of this album. It's a lofty goal, and I have zero expectations, I just also have nothing to lose by asking for help. Thank you so much for reading, and for potentially helping make a girl's musical dreams come true.
