I have been a musician my whole life, but it’s only recently that I’ve found the courage to record my own album. For years, I struggled with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and questions of self-worth. It took a lot of inner work to realize that creating music is one of my biggest callings and that I have something important to share with the world given to me by the Divine, with my unique voice. Now, I’m finally ready to take this leap and record my music with my dream recording engineer, arranger, producer, and extraordinary musician, Chris Rosser. He is so sensitive, kind-hearted, and intuitive, I didn't want to work with any other producer/engineer.

Recording an album professionally is a huge undertaking. I can only afford right now to record two songs with my own money. I have enough songs for a whole album, at least 12 songs, but I am struggling financially to even produce two. The funds I raise will go directly toward studio time, engineering, mastering, paying musicians for session time, printing 100 CDs, and making my music available on streaming platforms. I will be able to hire talented local musicians: Madelyn Ilana, Langston Kelly, and Chris, to bring these songs to life. Jane Kramer and Julien Melissas (my son) have donated their time to this project. My true goal is to create music that others can listen to, share, and hopefully can transform and transport the listener.

Any support—whether it’s a donation, sharing my fundraiser, or simply spreading the word—means the world to me. Every contribution helps me record more songs and reach more people.

Thank you for believing in my music and helping me make this dream a reality. Feel free to check out my YouTube channel and listen to the one song that has been mastered (I won a song contest to have the song engineered), Road to Love. If you can like, subscribe, or share my song, it will help to earn royalties. I am sincerely grateful in advance for all your support.
