My name is Oliver and I dedicated the majority of my life to music in a metal band called Evile; writing the music and touring the world to play it.

Over the years I would often sell everything I own to fund my existence and maintain momentum with my band, but with this, over time, also came debt. Being in an active, touring band is a surprisingly expensive endeavour, and it is difficult to find a steady, well-paying job that will let you tour 5 months out of the year and come back to employment.

I have been streaming guitar on Twitch over the years to try and help chip away at the debt I accumulated through music, but the cost of living makes this a difficult endeavour.

I work full-time now and the band at most is a hobby, but even with a salary, we still struggle to provide for our kids with the debt looming over us.

I take full responsibility for having chosen the path I chose, but I am not ashamed to ask for help, as we desperately need it. Any funds raised will be used to pay off debt, and allow us to finally be able to improve our current living conditions, mainly for our kids. (5yo F, 8yo F).

This is not a sob story or call for attention but a request for help. Anything that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Oliver
