Greg Raposo records his 2nd solo album and shoots debut music video. A collection of songs inspired by loss, love, and life.

Since a departure from my latest band, "Dead Celebrities," I have grown into an independent artist who loves to work with various writers and musicians.  Over the past 2 years I have been focusing on writing new material and appreciating my passion for music.  A lot has happened within a couple years and these events have inspired, hurt and therapeutically driven me to write most of this music.  The loss of my little cousin Theresa reminds me everyday of the gift it is to be alive.  Loss, Love, Life will be an album dedicated to her as it will feature the song "Dancing On Water" and others inspired by her.  Lighter songs such as "The Ditty" and older songs such as "Lease My Love" will also be featured on this album.

In a collaboration with a talented production company, a music video for the first single will be shot prior to the release of the album. In joining forces with this great team you can expect many more videos and even a short film, yet to be announced. 

In the event that the funding goal is not met, I will continue to pursue this album however it will take much longer to complete.  The actual cost the album and music video will likely double the funding goal but I'm prepared to cover the second half myself.  Please note that if the funding goal is not met within the time frame given then no one is charged.  I am so thankful for your support and regardless of your ability to contribute, I truly appreciate your love.  Once the album in completed, all proceeds will be donated to a scholarship fund created in honor of my cousin, Theresa.
