About this project
HEY EVERYONE
My name is Jesse Young and I am a singer/songwriter from South Florida by way of Michigan. I've been writing and performing for the last 12 years. I've been very fortunate enough to play with bands like Bon Jovi, Sister Hazel, Edwin McCain, Jason Mraz, O.A.R., Steve Miller Band and more.
Over the years I've never recorded a full length album. Only 5 songs here, 3 songs there, etc, but never really been happy with the way the songs have turned out. I've recently written some new songs that I want to record and that got me thinking about doing a full length record.
However in Jan 2011 I will be having a child for the first time. I AM SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS, but after that I'll be a little tied up for a while. I really want to record my first full length studio album before I have this kid, so one day I can show them what their dad was like way back when.
I need your help to make it happen. Over on the right ---------------------------------> there are a list of donations and rewards that go with them. The more you donate the cooler the rewards. Get everything from a digital copy of the CD before it comes out, to a personal mix CD of some of my favorite songs, heck I'll even come play a concert in your living room.
I ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS TO RAISE THE MONEY! If at the end of the time limit I don't reach my goal, NO MONEY CHANGES HANDS! But if I do reach my goal, you get all the cool stuff you pledged for and I get to make the record.
If you're a fan, friend or family I hope you'll support and pre-order a copy of the new record. If you've never heard of me before, check out my site and listen to my songs. If you like those old ones, come back and reserve your new CD, cause I promise it's going to be the best thing I've ever done.
I've got a great producer down here named Zack Ziskin who does amazing work and I've got great musicians lined up as well including Jody Hill (K.C. & the Sunshine Band, Gloria Gaynor) on the drums.
So please tell everyone you can, your support means the world to me.
Thanks so much!
