This is where you can see any of the updates I'll be posting through this campaign; including behind the scenes looks at me in the studio in Nashville, sneak peaks, and much more!

I’m looking to raise $18,000 in order to help me with my end of the expenses that are left for this project. The money we raise will help me with paying for the remaining studio time needed to finish this album, travel, lodging, food, marketing the album’s release, photos, all of the countless expenses that go into making a project of this professional level happen. Anything beyond the $18,000 will be put into even more marketing and radio promotion. All of the musicians that will be recording on my album are members of bands supporting major artists, for example Lester Estelle, who will be playing drums for my songs is also the drummer for Kelly Clarkson. I’ll be announcing more of the professional musicians as we advance through the album. I’ll be in the studio in Nashville starting June 6th to work on more of the album and finish up my single.

You should know that you guys have made all of this possible. All the prayers, all the support, all the encouragement to pursue this dream; you’ve given me the push to fight for this everyday. But now I need your help more than ever.

Every penny, every dollar is a step closer in helping me finish up this album in Nashville. I know not everyone is able to financially contribute, but if everyone who watches this could please share the link to this page on Facebook, Twitter, or whatever social media outlet that you like to use, send it in a group email, and just tell everyone that you think might be able to help, then I know that we can make this happen together.

The best thing we can do to help this campaign succeed is to utilize the power of word-of-mouth!

Words really can’t do it justice but I’m so beyond grateful for everything you guys have done for me and I’ll never be able to express how much it all really means to me, I just really hope I can make everyone proud now! You guys are already a huge part of my life and my career so far and with helping me raise this money YOU are gonna be the true reason behind my success!

GIVING BACK

One of the main reasons I’m working so hard towards achieving my dream of becoming a professional musician is so that I can have the platform to speak on behalf, spread awareness for, and have the financial means to help support all those suffering with disabilities across this country. I feel as though so many artists have millions of devoted and dedicated fans, eager to hear and support anything they say; and many of those artists do everything in their power to use their platform in a positive way and give back. Which is why a percentage of all sales I make from this album will donated towards a number of different charities that support help those with disabilities, and specifically spinal cord injuries like mine. One of those being the notable and highly respected Christopher Reeves Foundation; an organization that helps raise awareness, funds research for treatments and rehabilitation advancement, and supports those who are suffering from spinal cord injuries and their families. I will also be donating a percentage of sales to Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, for their major role in helping people like me with spinal cord injuries believe in getting back on their feet; a place that is very close to my heart for all they have done to help me get to where I am today in my continuous recovery. The fight for a better life is never over for people who suffer from a disability like a spinal cord injury. I can attest to the lifetime of medical complications, potential relapses in progress and recovery, financial hardships, and daily obstacles a disability can have on a person; which is why it is so important to me to use any opportunity I get in life to do my best in giving back and helping others. A disability does not limit the things we can accomplish as individuals, instead gives us a different perspective and forces us to get creative in our approach. But that doesn’t mean help isn’t needed sometimes. Even the strongest-willed people could use a hand every now and then, we’ve all been there. Your donations to this campaign will cause a chain reaction and give me the platform to give back and help others!
