Gifted Fire Music Studio

Donation protected

As Gifted Fire, we've always been about giving, but right now, we're asking for help.

 

Just last night (July 21), we were robbed...Unfortunately, they stole every key asset to our studio, totaling around $10,000 worth of our precious gear that we pour our hearts into.

 

We're raising funds to replace the stolen items. I especially need a laptop for my design class, video, and music work. I'm in my last semester of school, which is a significant obstacle for me to overcome.

 

As an artist and international student, I can't save money, and everything I made, went into every piece of gear in our studio. And I know each of you has their story of how much I worked for that equipment. We have a goal to finish 30 music tracks under Gifted Fire before December 28. We had just hit 20.

 

For those following my instagram, you know how many hours a night I dedicate myself to the craft. I was even writing a book about how sound heals. I can't believe that the manuscript is gone too.

 

I have a dream, a vision, and a purpose for my creative pursuits. It pains me to even ask for help as I feel a bit of shame, but I have no other option.

 

We need your support tribe so that we can celebrate the joy in life. Music means the world to me, and eight years of being away from home, this is the only thing that kept me alive. I don't accept defeat that easily. I turn my rage into the courage to continue to do what I love. Adversity is another creative force.

 

So here I am, reaching out to you, our tribe, for any support.

 

The funds will go into replacing the stolen items:

 

MacBook Pro 16inch -64gb ram: $5,000

UAD Apollo Twin X QUAD 10x6 Audio Interface: $1400

Moog Grandmother: $1000

Korg Miniloge: $500

Prophet Tetra:$800

Behringher Model D: $330

DamagedYamaha HS8: maybe $300)

Damaged Controllers and cables": $1000

Software etc: which were one time purchases: $500

 

It breaks our heart as it was our first studio :(

 

I need the funds ASAP to start rebuilding and catching up with school, music, and work before getting kicked out of the country.

 

I just want to finish school peacefully and continue to harness my craft, and grow the tribe.

 

Would you please help me get back into the creative fire?

 

Gratitude for your help!
