Write This Dream With Me - The Album of Maya Shaw

Donation protected
Be part of something beautiful: a cinematic, soul-driven album and visual experience made with love, honesty, and YOU.

Why this project? Why now?
Because this is more than an album, it’s an experience.
A world. A feeling. A movement.
I’m Maya Shaw, and I’m building something for us.
For everyone who loves music that speaks to the soul.
For everyone who believes art should be made with truth, with love, and with no shortcuts.
For everyone who’s felt a song wrap around them like a memory, a friend, a lifeline.

If you’ve heard my song God Won’t Come (To Plant Flowers), you know where my heart is:
“I wanna have, I wanna give, I wanna live till I’m gone.”
That’s the spirit behind this project.

And I want YOU to be part of it.
This Kickstarter is how we will build it, together.
The album: recorded with the highest artistry and care
The visuals: stunning videos that make the songs live and breathe
The reach: promotion that ensures this music finds the hearts it’s meant to touch

Where it all began:
When I was four, my grandmother Neomi taught me piano.
Her world was joy, curiosity, music, and yes, chocolate.
I loved going to her house, sometimes for the chocolate bar she’d sneak me (even when my mom protested), but mostly because that’s where music first felt magical.
She taught me on colorful lead sheets:
Do was blue. Re was yellow. Mi was red. Fa was green. Sol was purple.
That’s how I first saw music, as color, feeling, life.
And that’s what this album will be, a world of color and feeling for everyone who listens.

I’ve fought hard to make it this far.
I built my path to America from love and resilience.
I earned my artist visa, I’m here legally, ready to work, ready to give everything.
But now, to make this album truly what it deserves to be, I need you.
Not as donors. As partners. As part of this journey. As part of this world we are building.

Why you’ll want to be part of this:
✨ Because this isn’t just about me, it’s about all of us who love truth in music.
✨ Because this will be a community, backers will get inside the process, behind-the-scenes, first listens, special events.
✨ Because this will be beautiful. Honest. Soul-driven.
✨ Because your support goes directly to artists, collaborators, dreamers, not corporations.

Why this goal?
Because I want to do this right, with beauty, depth, and the level of quality this music and this audience deserves.
I’m building an album that can stand next to major artists, not a demo, not a side project, but a full, lasting piece of art.
I’m creating videos that will live with the music, so this project can travel around the world.
I want to work with the best, and I want every collaborator, every artist on this project to be paid with RESPECT.
And I want YOU to be part of it.

Since I was a little girl, my father used to tell me:
"If you don’t finish your plate, you’ll never become Hannah Montana, you won’t have the strength to make your voice heard."
It stuck with me: stay strong. Stay driven. Keep the fire alive.

And here I am, doing exactly that.
This is the moment.
To make an album that matters.
To create videos that move people.
To build something that you can say: I helped make that happen. I was part of it.
If my music has touched you, if you believe in this kind of art,
I invite you in.
Let’s make something beautiful together.
And when it’s out in the world, you’ll know: you were part of it from the very first note.

With love,
Maya Shaw
