Ashley Pezzotti's NEW ALBUM!!

I am thrilled to reach out to you today with an exciting opportunity to be a part of my musical journey. My name is Ashley Pezzotti, and I am a passionate jazz vocalist on a mission to create my long-awaited jazz album. I believe that with your support, we can make this dream a reality!

To kick off this GoFundMe campaign, I am humbled to share that Georgia Ragsdale, a benevolent supporter, has graciously offered to match any donation up to $1,000! This extraordinary gesture means that any amount you contribute (up to 1k) will be DOUBLED, amplifying the impact of your generosity. It would mean the world to me to make this dream come true, and I wholeheartedly appreciate every contribution, regardless of its size.

As an independent artist, there are a lot of expenses that go into creating an album. All of your contributions will go towards studio time, hiring top-tier musicians, engineering, mixing & mastering, post-production (photography, album art, physical CDs, licenses, etc) and press & radio publicity.

A bit about me! I've had the opportunity to perform with jazz giants such as Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Arturo Sandoval, and Dee Dee Bridgewater. I'm so thankful to have performed at legendary venues such as Birdland, Dizzy's, Rose Theater Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center. I've gotten to perform on stages around the world such as the London Jazz Fest, Sligo Jazz Fest, Stockholm concert hall, and MadeinNY Jazz Festival (Montenegro). It's been 5 years since I recorded my first album, and it's about time I recorded some new music! I've been working diligently on improving my craft (as I hope you've noticed with all the transcriptions haha!) and selecting new repertoire that deeply resonates with me. We'll be recording some of my original music, as well as my favorite jazz standards. I will also be featuring some hidden gems that I love, and of course, there will be lots of scatting! There will be some very special guests featured on the album as well (stay tuned). I’m ready to pour all of my heart and soul into this album and share it with the world!

If you are moved to give, then any amount that you contribute is GREATLY appreciated. If you’re unable to give at this time, I completely understand! If all you can do at the moment is share, that is also greatly appreciated. I'm SO grateful to you for supporting my music in any way that you can. Thank you so much!

With love,

Ashley
