<div>Hi friends, family, and community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Lea and I’m a singer-songwriter, performer, and multi-instrumentalist based in the DMV area. Three years ago, after a long hiatus from performing, I moved to DC and made the choice to return to what I love most just to see where it would lead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The journey since then has been nothing short of magical. The local music scene has opened its arms to me, and I’ve found deep community, incredible collaborators, and a steady stream of shows that light me up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, life gave me a nudge: after an unexpected layoff, I’ve decided to see this as my sign to take a chance on myself. I’ve felt a pull and deep knowing for a while that it’s time to stop waiting and start building the creative life I’ve always dreamed of. Now, with new momentum behind me and a clearer path forward than ever before, I’m ready to go all in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m raising $3,000 to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Purchase a professional PA system</strong> so I can take on more solo and private gigs
</li>
<li><strong>Mix and master a professionally recorded original song</strong> I’m ready to release
</li>
<li><strong>Complete essential car repairs</strong> so I can safely travel to shows and sessions
</li>
<li><strong>Bridge basic living expenses in August </strong>as I transition into full-time performance and wait for my new part-time work to begin
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m choosing to frame this moment not as a setback, but as an opportunity to fly. With your support, I’ll be able to turn this leap into something lasting and sustainable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By investing in me, you're helping build a dream that’s already in motion: my calendar is filling with regional gigs, the Maryland Renaissance Festival awaits in the fall (a sales job for this season, but an opportunity to connect with other creatives and feel out opportunities to perform next year and at other Renaissance Festivals around the country!), and I’m in conversations with booking agents who believe in my future. The fire is lit - I just need the tools to build the stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Follow my journey on </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/leaholzmusic/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Instagram</strong></a><strong> </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of this turning point. Whether or not you’re able to give, your support, encouragement, and shares mean everything. I can’t wait to show you what’s next.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and lyrics,
</div>
<div>Lea
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
