About this project

7k at last!!! We have some good time to bump this baby up to 10k!

I tell you this: If we reach $10,000 by October 18, I will write and perform a rap song for all my Kickstarter backers. Yes, I'm serious. No, I don't usually rap. Yes, I can rap. No it won't be on the album. :)

With many many thanks,

Tim.

________________________________________________________________Update: WOW!!! Over $6,600 in less than 3 weeks. It’s almost too good to be true. But it is true. And it is VERY good.

FACT 1: My Kickstarter goal is $7,000.

FACT 2: Kickstarter was planned to only cover around 2/3 of my total budget.

$2,530 in remaining costs that I will have to pay personally

Pressing 1,000 physical copies of the album = $1,980
Online and physical distribution costs = $150
Album art design = $500

With the remaining 3rd of the Kickstarter time, we can cover these costs. What do you think? Let's shoot for 9,530! I'm confident we can do this!

Hi there! Thank you so much for visiting my Kickstarter page! My name is Tim Ruff and I'm a singer-songwriter based in Pittsburgh, PA. If you're reading this, you're probably wondering what I'm up to. Well, I want to make an album. And I need your help.

The Rundown

I’ve been working on this album for over a year now and now it’s just about ready to record. It will be released independently, which means I'll have 100% artistic freedom to pack this album full of music that I’m sure you’ll love. BUT it also means that it will cost a lot of money out of pocket.

So that's where Kickstarter comes in, and here’s where you come in:

How Your Donation Helps

Your donation will go directly toward the cost of recording, mixing, mastering, and producing the entire album. With your help, I’ll be able to work with a top-notch engineer using high-quality equipment to make this album 100% professional and worthy of airing on the radio.

Rewards

In return for your generosity, you will not only get a copy of album, but you can also get any number of fun, personalized rewards, which are listed down the right side of this page. The truth is, I am grateful for any donation, big or small. But if you're able to give more, I can offer you some pretty fun and creative rewards. And if you can only give a little, that's okay too. Enjoying my music and sharing it helps just as much!

**Kickstarter is All or Nothing**

Here's the deal: I must reach $ 7,000 in donations or Kickstarter will not fund the project (and no money will ever be transferred from your account).

So, EVERY DOLLAR HELPS.

Thank you! Merci! Gracias! Danke! Grazie!

Thanks again for coming to my Kickstarter page. I really appreciate your support, whether it's a donation, telling your friends about this project, or just sharing my music.

The support from you--my family, friends, and fans--keeps me inspired and driven to keep making music. So let's get started!

-Tim
