Kickstarter

Thank you everybody for making this project a success!!! With just 24 hours before the deadline, we are still going strong raising funds for my debut album, Unveiled. Every dollar above the goal amount is going towards promotional materials for the album you backed! So please spread the word to anyone who is a fan of independent, original music.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart; soon you will receive more info on how you will be receiving your rewards!

Love,
Natalie

Hey all,

I had some time to make a video this morning, and while watching the snow flakes fall and then the sun come out, then more snowflakes, then more sun..... I put some audio and video clips together for my very own VIDEO UPDATE!! Check it out....

Hey Everyone!

With your help, the project is a few pledges away from making it to the halfway mark! I'm really excited to start mixing the album in March, and have a lot of great ideas to throw in the mix that will make for a HOT record.

The beginning of 2010 has brought many changes in my life. I have been searching for different opportunities within the musical world, and recently have decided to devote much more of my efforts to teaching music. I'm glad to announce that I will be teaching this summer at Own the Mic!, a music camp directed towards young vocalists, based in Marin County, CA. Check out www.ownthemic.org for more information.

After learning of this teaching opportunity, it gave me a great idea: why don't I offer my instructional services to my backers too? Check out the rewards section of my project, and you will see not one, but TWO new rewards!!

For $75, you will receive a 30 minute music lesson over Skype with me, and I will offer you either a voice, trumpet, piano, music theory or composition lesson, your choice. Plus 2 signed CD's and two concert ticket vouchers.

For $100, you will receive a 50 minute music lesson IN PERSON!, and I will offer you either a voice, trumpet, piano, music theory or composition lesson, your choice. Plus 2 signed CD's and two concert ticket vouchers.
This is for NYC folks to be redeemed at any time, since I live here. If you are in the Bay Area, we can set up a lesson during my two week residency with Rock the Mic (June 28th-July 9th)

*NOTE* to all you shy folks, this can be a lesson for yourself (private music lessons are enriching for all skill levels! No previous experience necessary!) OR if you really aren't interested, you may bequeath this opportunity to whoever you choose (mother, brother, daughter, boyfriend, etc.)

Once again, please retweet, repost, refacebook and spread the word! With your continued support, we can get this project funded and I can send you your rewards!

Thank you. With love and appreciation,
Natalie

p.s. If you are already a backer at the $75 level or higher and would like a music lesson, please comment on my project, and I will make sure you will receive a lesson on top of your previous rewards.

Hello everyone!

For all that have pledged, I want to thank you sooo much for your support. The album is sounding incredible. Dominic and I recently went into the Gallery Recording Studio (with Brian Forbes as the engineer) and finished tracking all the voices and synths! The result: some hauntingly lush harmonies and gritty, rocking organ textures.

I'm just gonna give you a sneak peak of my rendition of Joni Mitchell's tune titled "the Hissing of Summer Lawns". I had the opportunity to work with mixing engineer Paul Cox, and he created a demo mix of this song only. So keep in mind, none of the other tracks are mixed! They will all need some loving attention before they can sound polished and balanced. That's where this project will come in: to fund the mixing and mastering studio time.

The project is slowly on its way to success, but it will need a major push in the next couple of weeks in order to meet the goal.

I need your help to make it there, or else I will not receive any of the pledges so far, nor will my current backers receive an album or any other prizes.

The cool thing is that all it takes to make the goal is a little help from a lot of people!
Just a reminder:
For $5, you get the single.
For $15, you get the album in digital format (of your choice! I will have tracks posted on Bandcamp.com and iTunes once the album's released)
For $25, you get a signed hardcopy CD!
....and there are more incentives should you choose to give more. Just check out the rewards on the main page.

If you haven't already, please donate what you can; as little as $5 will be accepted and eligible for a reward. If you have (my dear patrons, thank you!), please send this website link to whoever you think would like to help this project come to life.

All the best,
Natalie

p.s. stay tuned for a video update featuring the band in a couple of days!
