Hi everyone,

As many of you know, I’ve spent the last several years chasing my dream of building a career in music. It hasn’t been easy — I’ve been living abroad, working multiple jobs, dealing with visa issues, financial struggles, and countless rejections. But I’ve never given up on creating something meaningful and lasting through my art.

Now, I’m finally at a point where that dream is taking shape: I’m working on my first official album and will soon pen a meaningful publishing deal that will help get my music out into the world. But in order to move forward — and show labels and investors that I can do this — I need to fund this first project on my own and will release it as a buzz project through the publisher, hopefully in September or October.

I’m doing everything I can to keep costs low: producing and styling things myself, shooting my own visuals, and being resourceful with every dollar. Still, bringing a full creative project to life — with the music, visuals, and content it deserves — costs money.

I’m asking for help raising $2,000, which will go directly toward:

• Mixing & mastering the tracks

• A photographer for professional images

• A camcorder so I can shoot my own visuals and video content

• Clothing & graphic design to complete the album’s visual identity

• A budget to run ads on Instagram, TikTok and other social media platforms

This is a big step for me — not just as an artist, but as a person who’s spent years holding onto a dream, often without knowing if it would ever come to life. While the goal is no small amount and not a small feat, any amount you can contribute means the world to me. Even sharing this helps.

Thank you for always believing in me, even when things have been hard. I’m ready to make something beautiful, and I’d be so grateful to have your support on this journey.

With love,

Samuel
