Update #1: Thank you to our Tribe!
David, Iyeoka and myself would like to thank you, our backers, for helping us achieve our incredible goal of raising $10K in 90 days! We are so excited and humbled at the number of supporters who have shown faith in our music and what we're trying to achieve.
During the past 90 days, we were blessed with an amazing series of events. We have gotten "Yellow Brick Road" placed with the HBO series "How To Make It In America. In May, Iyeoka has been named a 2010 TED fellow.
Over Memorial Day weekend, the three of us were working together hashing out song arrangements out of David's studio in LA. We hope to have exclusive previews of these new songs for you soon.
We have also started the "3 Wishes" project, a cross cultural exchange between United States and in Africa. Iyeoka will be traveling to Africa later this week.
We pledge to you that we will keep you abreast of progress of the album and how we will invest your pledges. More importantly, Iyeoka is excited to start on the commissioned work promised for many of our backers. Thank you for believing in us, being part of our tribe and our journey.
If you have any questions or would like to be involved with our movement, please contact Francis at francis@francisphan.com. And of course, the best source for keeping up to date with Iyeoka and her music is www.iyeoka.com.
Peace and Blessings,
David, Iyeoka and Francis
