    Sweet Success... Blessing to all of my Backers!

    Dear backers,

    Oh Yes we did it!...
    I am still speechless... I pray this does not carry through to my recording sessions..lol!
    Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for making my project a success.
    BECAUSE OF YOUR GENEROUS PLEDGES ......I shall now be able to book my studio time, confirm musicians and yes..... sit down and begin writing....

    This next week KickStarter and Amazon will be collecting and processing your pledges. If any of you have declined, pending, or error transactions the nice people from KickStarter will be in touch with you. Please do your best to follow through with your pledge. Kickstarter will also be getting in touch with you in the coming weeks to get any needed information for your rewards!

    Do please bare in mind that as my album has yet to be written! So I am really starting from scratch........ my main goal for the next 2-3 months is to focus and work diligently on creating this album..... You will all receive updates as the album progresses via kickstarter , Face book , myspace and my website. As the album gets closer to completion.... I will be preparing packages for each of you based on your contribution. I ask in advance for your patience on this.
    I will do my very best to be in contact with you throughout the process and make sure you get everything that comes with your pledge. I will make sure before the final artwork is submitted that I have everyone's names listed correctly in the booklet as they desire. Once we get the CD's back from the manufacturing plant we will start mailing out the packages along with all the other goodies!

    At the beginning of this project I said that as well as doing volunteering work while in Ghana ....if we achieved our $15,500 goal I would donate all of the profit from my next show In Ghana to Doctors without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). I absolutely plan to stay true to this. I will keep you posted on when and where this show will take place.

    A powerful wind of change is blowing through the music industry and for many independent artist like myself our fans and supporter are the key to our success.......
    Having the money to make a new album is Truly a blessings, and I'm excited to make it and will do my very best to make you all very proud.

    Back in Nov 2009 i made a wish and 3 months later you all made my wish come true... once again, thank you all for being a part of this. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL gift you all have given me.

    Blessings always,

    Wunmi
