Hello dear friends!
Let me start by saying thank you, thank you for clicking the link and joining me here. It means so much that you care about this project, that the music that I’ve been pouring my heart into for over three years matters and has a chance to live on in this world through the magic we make as a community.
I'm Micaela Kingslight, a lifelong musician living on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. I’m here raising funds to be able to produce, record, mix, master, release and promote an album of original music that I truly feel is meant to help heal and bring people together to sing and create medicinal musical magic. These songs are inspired by nature, plant medicine, deep suffering and pain, healing and profound joy. They are prayers for the world and I hope will touch the hearts of those who need the medicine they carry.
It’s a tricky time to be a full time musician and music teacher and I’ve struggled with needing to ask for help to make this dream a reality. In fact, I’ve made this fundraiser twice already and taken it down because I’m afraid to ask for so much. Yet, in order to make this happen it is important to make space and time to complete the process, not being in survival mode but feeling supported to create this work while being able to generously pay a producer, engineer, and my incredible musical friends to help bring it to the quality that is needed to be properly released.
With a budget of $2,000 a song I can truly make each one shine with the polish that the music industry demands while staying true to the vision without stifling budget constraints that have made my recordings in the past miss the mark. I might even be able to record a couple bonus songs along the way if everything goes well!
The plan is to release the album by late spring of 2024 along with a songbook and video lessons teaching each song through my website. This will allow the music to reach far and wide while making it possible to continue my work in the world as a community tender, energy worker, musician and teacher.
Thank you for taking the time to be a part of this, for your genuine care, and for enabling musicians like me to continue creating meaningful work in the world. May these songs be a sanctuary for you and all beings they reach along this journey.
With deepest gratitude and love,
Micaela
