<div><strong>Hi, I’m Dr. Joey Pearson.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a music minister, educator, and queer person of faith, I write songs that speak to the deep hunger in our world—for justice, belonging, and sacred love that includes everyone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This album is the next chapter in a journey that began with <a href="https://www.joeypearsonmusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>A Place at the Table</em></a>, my first spiritual studio album, created in the wake of personal grief and transformation. That project honored my late father and the resilience of LGBTQIA+ people who—like us—have known both rejection and healing in religious spaces. To date, that music has reached over 50,000 listeners around the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The message is clear: <strong>This work matters, this music heals, and this moment needs it.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, I’ve continued composing and performing original music, especially at <a href="https://www.oceansidesanctuary.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oceanside Sanctuary</a> , where I’ve served as music director for the past few years. These new songs were written for, and with, a community that believes in justice-centered faith, radical love, and spiritual courage.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This new album includes 10 original songs that reflect the journey we’re all on: building community, honoring queer and trans sacredness, facing the pain of the world with compassion, and daring to hope for liberation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, as I celebrate earning my Doctorate of Education from UCLA, I’m launching this next album as a love offering to my communities, my collaborators, and a world in need of new spiritual anthems.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I Need Your Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will record and produce this album with local queer musicians and producers, all of whom deserve to be fully compensated for their time and talents.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make this vision a reality, I’m raising $10,000 to cover:
</div>
<div>️ Studio recording
</div>
<div>️ Mixing &amp; mastering
</div>
<div>Collaborations with local queer singers and musicians
</div>
<div>Album art &amp; digital distribution
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Now</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are living in a time of rising hate, deep division, and spiritual disconnection. And yet, I believe music still has the power to gather us, ground us, and move us toward healing and action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This Pride Season—and in this powerful moment of personal transition—I invite you to help me bring these songs to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you can contribute financially or share this campaign with your community, your support means everything. Let’s raise our voices for justice, for spirit, and for love.
</div>
