Saving a dream: Repossessed Studio Van for Artists

Donation protected
Supporting Local Artists through the redemption of a repossessed Recording Studio Van




Join us in reviving our dream of an eco-friendly, songwriting studio van that embodies both resilience and sustainability amidst the tropical beauty of Hawaii!

When I say "us" I mean me and my dog "Zinedine"... We have been building and living in this van for the past 2 years.

We were so close to completing our project—the roof was installed, and the studio was starting to provide a beautiful creative space for artists to write and be themselves. However, a series of unexpected mechanical issues tested our determination since November 2022.


The alternator, flat tires, malfunctioning sensors and bad recalls from Mercedes came one after another, causing us to miss loan payments and fall behind on our financial obligations.

Currently, the van is being held by the bank as we work tirelessly to bring our loan up to date. We need to collect $6,000 to cover the missed payments and address the repair costs caused by the mechanical setbacks.

Your support will play a crucial role in helping us rescue our van and continue building a sustainable and resilient songwriting studio in the tropical paradise of Hawaii.

Our mobile studio is designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, providing a serene and inspiring space for artists to unleash their creativity while being surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Hawaiian beaches.




Imagine writing and recording songs straight from the beach, with the gentle ocean waves serving as the backdrop to your creative process.

We've been documenting our journey on our YouTube channel , Instagram , and other social media platforms, showcasing the incredible music and creative work that emerges from our van-based studio.

By supporting our campaign, you'll not only help us overcome these unexpected hurdles but also become a part of this vibrant community of artists and music lovers.

Your contribution will not only help us bring our loan up to date and address the mechanical issues but also enable us to enhance our online presence and share the magic of our van-based songwriting studio with a wider audience.

We believe that by documenting and sharing our journey, we can inspire others to pursue their creative dreams while embracing sustainability.

By joining us in this campaign, you're not just helping us overcome these unexpected hurdles; you're also supporting the resilience of independent artists and our commitment to eco-conscious practices amidst the rust-inducing coastal atmosphere.

Together, we can revive our van songwriting studio, save it from being seized, and provide a haven for artists to write and record their songs in the idyllic setting of Hawaii's beaches.
