<div>Hi everyone! V.V. Lightbody here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and budding producer in Chicago, IL, and I am seeking financial support to make the <strong>3rd V.V. Lightbody album.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The new record is written and the studio time is booked! I have a wonderful team behind me to help these 10+ songs come to life. If you’ve seen V.V. Lightbody play in the last year or so, you’ve gotten a taste of what this record will be. I feel that I have found my stride as a songwriter: groovy, direct, and with a close eye for detail. I’m deeply proud of this batch of songs and making this record will be an important step for me as an artist.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever been moved by a V.V. song, lyric, or performance - or if you just want to support the work of independent artists - this is where I could really use your help. I am not able to fund this record with my income alone, and I am asking the music-loving community that has supported me so much in the past to help make this next record a reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The $12,000 from this fundraiser will go towards:
</div>
<div>- studio rental
</div>
<div>- engineer fees
</div>
<div>- musician fees + featured musician fees
</div>
<div>- recording overdubs &amp; editing
</div>
<div>- mixing
</div>
<div>- mastering
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any additional money raised will go directly to other album-related costs (album artwork, vinyl pressing, etc.). I will be making this record as cost effectively as I can by doing the bulk of the editing and a substantial amount of the production from my home studio. For extra support, I will also be applying for grant funding. These efforts, combined with income from V.V. shows in the coming year, will help us to make the record we want to make.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hope you’ll consider chipping in and spreading the word - anything helps. I am <em>deeply </em>grateful for everyone who has supported my work thus far and encouraged me to keep pushing on this album. I can’t wait to share this next chapter of V.V. with you all. Thanks for your time. &lt;3
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Love,
</div>
<div>V.V. (Vivian)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>P.S. Chicago fans - inviting you to hear a lot of these new songs live on Saturday Feb 3rd at <a href="https://dice.fm/event/yx36x-vv-lightbody-w-brent-penny-julia-steiner-of-ratboys-sv-6th-year-celebration-3rd-feb-sleeping-village-chicago-tickets?lng=en-US" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sleeping Village</a> . We'll be fresh out of the studio and ready to rip :)
