Help Dillard replace equipment
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Dillard Worthen, i'm a budding musician/vocalist from the Bay Area who is currently going through a rough spot.
The night of January 27th I was at a dance event in west Oakland after an earlier performance that day so my Music equiment (MPC & Laptop) was in my cars trunk. Of course I thought it was secure, but unfortunately, this was not so. Later that night my car was broken into and all of the equipment was stolen from my trunk through my car from the compartment in the back seat after my rear window had been shattered. (This is the second break in, in 1.5 weeks mind you)
For or those that know me, you guys know that this music business is literally what I've built my life around so I can't say I'm taking any of this lightly, but I am doing my best to stay optimistic and I don't plan on quitting music anytime soon. With that being said, these pieces of equipment are/were the corner stone of my whole musical experience, until I can get replacements I will be unable to create or perform my music nor will I have my emotional outlet for the daily stresses we all go through. i cant say there is a deadline for when my equipment is needed but time is definitely of the essence.
Also, currently I'm in route to starting a new family of my own with a baby on the way with my girl friend and music, through this amazing community of the East Bay, is how I'm planning on supporting my family and continuing my dream to have a career in the music industry.
To anyone who is able to support me in my time of need, I am indescribably greatfull for you and your being. These are all hard times we're going through so I know that support doesn't come easy. To give some backstory into my musical dream, it has changed and evolved as I learn more of the scene but currently as it stands I'm in the works to acquire publishing licenses for my personal brand so I can run as a professional musical entity. Also this supports another dream of creating a musical scene in the East Bay Area that is run by musicaians for musicians.
In trying to shoot for a goal of being up and running again by April so I can begin bringing music back to my community.
on a final note, if I am able to reach my goal to replace my stolen items, pay for car repairs, and start supporting my family, I will be starting a music project that I would like all of my friends and supporters to be a part of. it would consist of a mixtape made by me n then a corresponding event at a venue in Oakland where we can all celebrate together.
Ps. If you are unable to support financially please feel free to support by sharing this where ever you feel it would be of help. It's not just about the money but the community.
