I’ve been producing music as R8ZE for the last 4 years. If you’ve been following the journey, you know it’s always been about the music and the visuals first. I don’t have a label or a massive team behind me—it’s just me in the studio, making sure every track and every loop hits the way it’s supposed to.

Right now, I’ve got a massive 12-track project ready to go, and I’m pushing harder than ever to get it heard. But the reality of being an independent artist in 2026 is that the platforms make it a "pay-to-play" game. Between distribution, professional mastering to make sure the tracks bang in a club, and the cost of the visual gear I need for the 24/7 streams, the costs add up fast.

I’m starting this GoFundMe to help cover the overhead of this next rollout. I’m not trying to get rich or sound like some corporate brand; I just want to keep the momentum going without having to cut corners on the quality of the music.
