Help Joshua Watkins Bring 'REDEMPTION' to Life

Hello everyone,

I’m Joshua Watkins, and I’m beyond excited to share a major milestone in my musical journey with you. I am gearing up to release my debut album, REDEMPTION, with my band, Joshua Watkins and Ascension, on May 2, 2025! This project is the culmination of years of dedication, crafted primarily throughout my time earning my bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies from Michigan State University.

REDEMPTION is more than just an album—it’s a deeply personal story set to music. Each composition reflects the spiritual guidance and life lessons that have shaped me. Our sound fuses gospel, jazz fusion, and a fresh take on contemporary worship, designed to inspire, and connect.

To bring this vision to life, I'm asking for your support. Your contributions will help cover:

Studio Time – Ensuring top-quality recording sessions.

Musician Fees – Supporting the incredible artists who bring this music to life.

Mixing & Mastering – Fine-tuning our sound for the best possible experience.

Promotion & Distribution – Spreading the music worldwide across all platforms.

Album Artwork & Design – Creating a stunning visual identity for REDEMPTION.

CD & Vinyl Production – For those who love tangible music.

Music Video Production – Bringing the album to life visually (shooting in March!).

Miscellaneous Costs – Covering any unexpected expenses.

With your help, we can make REDEMPTION a reality and share its message with the world. Every contribution—big or small—brings us closer to the finish line. Your support means everything and fuels my mantra:

TheOnlyTrajectoryIsUpwards

Thank you for being part of this journey! Let’s make history together.

With gratitude,

Joshua Watkins
