Solo Bass Album Fundraiser
Donation protected
Dear friends, family and music supporters,
I am absolutely thrilled to announce that all the music for my upcoming solo bass album 'Freedom' has been recorded and transcribed, however there is still lots to do in order to get the music to your ears and to do that I’m humbly requesting your help.
So, what do I need help with? To complete this project I will be hiring the services of some amazing artists from different mediums including a mastering engineer, a visual artist for the album cover, a photographer and a graphic designer who will all be fairly compensated for their work, as well as pressing physical copies of the CD and transcription book.
BUDGET:
Mastering - $600
Artwork/Graphic Design - $600
CD Pressing - $1000
Promotion - $600
Printing Transcription Book - $650
Photography - $600
Total: $4050
There are many ways in which you can help and they all come with perks!
You can donate...
$400+ to become an executive producer listed in the official album credits
$300 to hire me for a house concert (subject to tour schedule)
$200 for an online lesson package of four 1hr lessons, each with a personalized assignment in PDF form
$100 to hire me to record a bass line on one of your songs remotely from my home studio
$60 for one online lesson of 1hr which comes with a personalized assignment in PDF form
$25 to pre-order a copy of my transcription book (shipping cost not included)
$20 for two advance tickets to my Madison, WI CD release show (08/21 @ Art and Literature Lab)
$25 - for two advance tickets to my Toronto, ON CD release show (09/10 @ Hughs Room Live)
$15 to pre-order an autographed physical copy of my CD (shipping cost not included)
$10: pre-order a digital copy of my album
Or you can simply donate any amount and not request a perk.
If this total number seems really big, in reality it isn’t. I have already spent well over a thousand hours composing, practicing and recording this music and I plan on putting in hundreds of hours of unpaid promotion by being my own publicist reaching out to local media and other outlets. So in reality this budget comprises the cost for the finishing touches to make this album and transcription book a reality.
There is no amount too small, anything you can do to help will be very much appreciated.
