Hi Everyone,
I’m Nancy Sanchez and I’m here to talk to you about a very special project of mine. For those of you who have come to my past shows and listened to my first CD know that I’ve focused on being a jazz singer and songwriter. I’ve been writing songs since I was a little girl, at first mostly in Spanish since I migrated to the United States from Toluca Mexico. I then became fluent in English and acquired a passion for Jazz music and for American singer/songwriters. Throughout the years, I’ve managed to build a repertoire of original compositions in both Spanish and English.
I have been writing a lot in the last few years and I decided that this year I really needed to begin the process of making a new record. This recording of my newest written material will explore a totally different side of my musical personality with an emphasis on Pop mixed with my Latin, Jazz and World Music influences.
I feel very fortunate and super excited to be working with Evan Stone and David J. Carpenter who are the Co-Producers for this project. With their collective skills and vision they have started to make these latest songs feel new and exciting, and the musicians that they would like to hire to finish the recordings are some of the best in the business.
I often get people asking me after a show “Is the Hippo Song on this CD?”, “when is Ruby in L.A. coming out?”, or is “Sunny Day recorded yet?”
The answer is always “Yes it’s coming out... soon!", or, "It’s on its way”.
This is true…it is "on its way"; however, while recording the CD I’ve encountered some technical difficulties. And by that I mean Money!
Making a CD is super expensive and I need your help in order to finish it.
We’re living in a time when artists are very much in control of their own careers. Most of us now have to promote ourselves, book our own gigs, record our own CDs which usually includes: paying for a recording studio, hiring the musicians, hiring an engineer and a producer, mixing sessions for the music, mastering the music, creating artwork for the CD and then finally manufacturing the actual CD. Most up and coming artists don't have the luxury of financial backing from a major music label to cover the cost of producing a fully finished product along with promotion and distribution. There is a lot of work to be done and limited funds to do it all.
I’m very excited about this new collection of songs and with your help I know we can raise enough money to finish this project.
I feel very fortunate to have Kickstarter on our side. It’s such a great tool for artists like myself. I hope that with your donations,you will take pride of ownership along with me as we complete this recording together. With Kickstarter I want to make this CD fund raising fun for everyone who participates. Please have a look at the incentives for your generous donation!
Thank you! :)
