Sip & Paint Music Video / Single Release

Dear Family, Friends, Colleagues, Donors, Supporters, & Fans of
D'MonteB!


   Despite going through the storm of life, I, with the faith & belief the side of a mustard seed, is determined to walk out of it still with no residue of the disaster left under my feet. Amen?

To that notion, I am reaching out to you guys for support on my newest musical project, "Sip N' Paint." This project is extremely important to me for many reasons, but overall it's to launch my music career to the next level. (In addition to that, It's my very FIRST project that I've written myself as well as created the musical composition behind the lyrics!) What's, even more, admirable and a thing to notate is that, if you know what I've gone through, and currently still going through, I'm still maintaining my strength & faith to overcoming the forces that are against me despite the several obstacles that I've faced and may currently still undergoing. 

Here's the thing. I'm planning to shoot this Video on the 24th & 25th of THIS MONTH (yeah I know...I know... A lot has been even discouraging me to even reach out for support. However I only have to gain, and nothing to lose at this point. I also feel that it can still happen.)  As much financial support, I can get from now till then will help drastically! 

Since I'm asking for your support, I will also be providing you with where your funds will be going to and what it is needed for.
Attn: Your funds are going to this entire project and my next single that I'm currently preparing now. None of these funds are for personal use or gain. Those who know me, know that not only am I'm a man of my word. (Hence why I'm also providing you more information in terms of where these funds will be allocated.) but also  So here's the breakdown.

LOCATIONS: BLUEHOUSE PRODUCTIONS

The cost that they are giving me will cover;
     ●Videography/ Filming
     ● Space Rental,
     ●Bass player that was suggested
(Note: I didn't have a base player but the professional base player that he referred to me loved my single so much and just love my energy personality, etc she's doing this gig on the house for ) 
     ● Lighting & Sound Crew.
     ● Other included pieces like an extended stage, the performance luxury chair that is in house. 
     ●Professional Mix & Mastering.

 



PERFECT SOLUTIONS PAINT & SIP MESH-UP
         ●  I was able to co-host a Sip N Paint with the company, Perfect
Solutions They are hosting a Paint & Sip, and after expressing my ideas and hopes they have agreed to co-partner. Their overall expenses now
is half & half since I would be using this event as well as part of my
music video story line.  



MUSICIANS/BAND

I'm excited about the band that I'm putting together for this video because this band consists of nothing but ALL  WOMEN on stage!!! (which is a dream of mine to be accompanied by only Women!

 I have;

     ●3 to 6 BGVs (Background Vocalists) 
     ●Drummer. 
     ●Pianist 
     ● Bass Guitar Player.

In total that is a 9 to 10 piece FULL WOMEN band!
As of right now, this is a rough draft of the set-up in terms of the musicians on stage. 
The audience members will be my Frat Brothers of Phi Beta Sigma & 
Sorors, Zeta Phi Beta. ()

SECOND DESIRED location (Which a lot of people would know extremely well) and that is  PARK ON 14TH!!!  I'm still in communication with them on that so! I'll keep you updated. (but that's a potential fee.) 



LASTLY

●So I know I threw a lot at you all, and I do know that for the Music Video component, it's literally around the corner, however you guys just don't know or understand how much I been discouraged from even going about my single this way. Heard so many bad negative feedback.
Hearing the type of feedback that I've been hearing IN ADDITION to going through so many personal struggles was weighing on me heavy, however, I'm just taking a risk and just do it without continuing to thinking about what others think or say to me or my medical situations and legal situations. I can't allow it to over-power what I know what/is meant to happen. 


DONATIONS
You can donate how-ever you see fit. Via Gofundme, Cash-App, Pay-pal, in person, wired transfer, WHATEVER works for you. I understand that funds can be difficult to spare but honestly, any donation would work!  Here's a financial mathematical breakdown to visually see that THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED!!!! 


$5,500.00 ÷ $5.00 = 1,100 donors.
$5,500.00÷$10.00=550 donors.
$5,500.00÷$20.00=275 donors.
⭐️$5,500.00÷ $25.00= 220 donors.⭐️ 
⭐️$5,500.00÷$50.00=110 donors.⭐️
⭐️$5,500.00÷$100.00=55 donors.⭐️


SO I'm doing REALLY GOOD GUYS AND REALLY CLOSE!!  In order to start the video process,  I need HALF of the $5,000.
so that I can start the recording process for this project!  $1,300.00 is half of the $2,500.00 . Here's the break down of your donations given to help with making me be able to get HALFWAY to my Goal so I can start the video recording component. 

$1,300.00 ÷$2.00=650 donors
$1,300.00 ÷$4.00= 325 donors.
$1,300.00 ÷$5.00= 260 donors
$1,300.00 ÷ $10.00= 130 donors.
$1,300.00 ÷20.00=65 donors.
$1,300.00 ÷$25.00= 52 donors.
$1,300.00 ÷ $50.00 = 26 donors
$1,300.00 ÷$65.00 =20 donors.
$1,300.00÷$100.00 = 13 donors.
$1,300.00 ÷ $130.00= 10 donors. 

As you can see all of those prices are evenly distributed accordingly. Like I said, whatever you can give, it will be greatly appreciated! There are INCENTIVES  that will be given for those who can give $25.00 or more

Those incentives include;

Personalized thank you card sent to your residency.
