Straight from the Heart

Hello my friends! The time has finally arrived. I have decided to take the leap and record my Debut album. Some of these songs have been years in the making, and some of them are brand new. They are the most personal and vulnerable songs that I’ve recorded to date and I cannot wait to share them with you!

“I am pouring everything I have into this album, my story, my tears, my love, my all. Every song comes straight from the heart"

I've been writing my own songs and singing since I could remember, and it has always been my passion and dream to record my own songs. I have longed to do this for many years, but the journey has had many delays and much heartache, and every challenge and obstacle has helped shape my songs and my message of hope.

Each song speaks clearly of my personal journey, the ups & downs, the chaos & the peace, and everything inbetween.

Now the time has come to live again and to dream again, to step out in Faith, walk on the water, and go all in to follow my destiny.

Wandering home

The release of my first single 'Wandering Home'

Earlier this year I went into studio to record my first single. The result was incredible and gave me the courage to take the leap to record my complete Debut album. This song inspired me get back to my dream, to record my songs and tour with my band all over the world!

Listen to my first single called 'Wandering Home'

Wandering Home

It also opened up a whole new door for me right as I released it during a tour I was doing with some great international musicians! What happened next simply blew my mind.....

How God made a way and already prepared everything I needed to record my Album

Some of you might know of my recent breakthrough as a percussionist! I've been touring with German Rock Legend Marius Müller-Westernhagen(12 million CD's sold) on his 75 Live Tour this spring and summer. It has been an incredible experience to work with such a professional A list production, playing sold out shows and packing arenas of over 20 000 people!!! I even had my own Percussion technician who would set up my gear for every show, we had a tour bus, travelled the whole of Germany with the band, the works!

I had the privilege of being part of Mr. Westernhagen's incredible band, performing with his all-American ensemble of renowned session musicians (who regularly tour and record with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer, Cindy Lauper etc.)

Playing with this band for over 3 months has been the greatest experience, and I have learned so much! It's like stepping into an elevator and going straight from ground floor up to level 10.

Things were happening extremely fast, and it was only about to go faster!

Here we are on tour together recently in Germany. They are the loveliest people!

A New open Door...

While on tour, I was in the process to find the right studio and musicians to record my album - the songs I recorded previously were very acoustic, and I recorded most of the instruments myself, I also had some great musicians who played on the tracks with me, but for the Album I needed a full band to record with me due to the nature of the songs.

It was then that I discovered that Jack Daley (Bassist of Marius Müller Westernhagen, also Producer) owns a top notch recording studio in Asbury Park, USA called Dug deep Productions. He happen to have 2 weeks free in his studio right after tour, and on top of that, the rest of the band were available and instantly offered to record my songs as session musicians.

To make it short, I get to have The Best of The Best playing on my album!!!!!

Here's a video I made a few weeks back announcing the exciting news!

Next step: Recording my Debut Album the USA

Dug Deep Productions studios with top Producer & Session Musicians

I didn't hesitate to seize the chance to work with such incredible session musicians. They're highly selective, and it's rare to get them to play on your album unless you're a superstar or personally connected. Fortunately, I had a great connection with them, they liked my music and they were delighted to help me make my album come to life.

I see it as a divine, pre-destined open door from God, to help me finish my album, with the best I could possibly have!

Here I am in the main control room making some notes after recording a song.

I'm currently in the USA, we have already begun the process (things are happening so fast). I've been in studio with them for a week now and my mind has been blown, my songs sound better than I had ever imagined! I know without a doubt that this was the right move. We have another 2 weeks of live Recording in studio and doing some overdubs before heading home to Gemany, where the final process of mixing & mastering starts.

Here's a short preview of the vibe so far in Dug Deep studios, Asbury Park USA

Finances & Budget

This means I need to have the finances to fund such high level artists and studio. Although they have given me very reasonable, friendly prices, it would still be difficult to cover these expenses entirely on my own as an independent musician.

And this is why I need you to partner with me by investing in my music and help spread my message of hope!

BREAKDOWN OF COSTS

Trip to the USA € 4.200

Band, Studio & Producer € 14.800

Mixing & Mastering: €5.000

TOTAL: € 24.000

Why Crowdfunder?

Because I am currently an independent artist with no record Label and I need to fund everything by myself. With your help, I believe that I would be able to get many offers for a great record deal with this Album. I now have all the contacts and many key industry connections in Germany and USA who are eagerly awaiting my album, ready to listen with open minds and hearts to collaborate with me!

Thank you!

I want to thank each of you who has encouraged me to keep going and not to give up - it has certainly not been an easy path to walk. I would not have made it without you.

Many of you have been part of my story, and this is the moment I ask you to help me, to partner with me to inspire more people through my songs which carry a message of Hope & Life to a broken world.

I am so excited to share the full depth of who I am in form of my Debut album!

My prayer is that the album brings inspiration, healing and hope to you and others.

Feel free to give however you feel moved in your heart.

All my Love to you

Heidi Joubert
