Kickstarter

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

Congratulations to all my backers....YOU ALL ARE MY ANGELS.....

Yes we made our goal of $15,500,
We now have less than 20 hours to go.. before the final bell rings, at 11.59pm EST tonight Feb 7th!
Lets really make that great big push to the finish line...... there is more than enough time for folks who would still like to make a pledge..... Every bit counts!....

As we approach the final stretch of this truly bless campaign.
I must admit there were a few times that i did ask myself what would i do if i did not make my target!.. each time this question popped up ...the little voice in my head would say For real WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY!.
So i continued to reach out for your support and you all came through BIG TIME!....
I can't thank you all enough for believing in me. Your generous pledges and support has further inspired me!.

Now It is my turn....I am so ready to begin working on the album...... Since my arrival in Ghana I have gotten to meet some of the musicians who will be working with my producer and I on some of the songs...And i mean new songs totally brand new from scratch!

I look forward to sharing with you all my journey to creating the songs for my still untitled album!.. internet connections permitting I shall up load a weekly update once my studio session begins....
My recording goal is to record at least 11 songs... Once all songs are in the can.. then the listening party to determine which songs makes it to the album!... oh yes and the album title..
Next step is to have them mixed and mastered!.... once this is done we will proceed to manufacturing cd's! Plan is to have album ready by July! barring any technical delays!

During this period I shall be putting together a PR team ..and tour plans
Out side of the recording of the album the other major expense is the promoting of the ALBUM!

Also, 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 if any problems occur while processing.
