About this project
This is the beginning stages of my new project called SPELLS. Its a one-man-band with a unique Indie/Rock/Experimental sound. The idea for SPELLS is to step outside of my normal creative space and comfort zone, try some interesting chord progressions/structures, and experiment with unique sounds and instrumentation over simple well-crafted songwriting.
Currently I am in the process of writing and demoing for the debut EP which will be produced/engineered by my producer Niles. Who is a good friend of mine and has had the privilege of working with many Grammy award winning artists and producers/engineers.
My goal is to raise the funds for the record and begin recording this Winter and release the EP as soon as possible early next year into your hands.
The money that I'm seeking to raise would be paying for all that comes with recording and putting together a record. Such as hiring a Producer/engineer, additional instrumentation, mixing, and mastering.
By pre-ordering the EP you are essentially backing me as an artist without any middle man involved. There is no label or music industry person in between the me and you. The pre-order money goes straight to recording and making this project come to life and ultimately in your ears along with some exclusive materials that come with the different pre-order options.
My hope with music has always been to have a true and pure connection between myself, the songs, and the listener. I believe music has the power to move mountains and can help get people through hard times or even simply provide a soundtrack to their lives. This is why I do music. And this is why I need your support to carry on my dream of making music with intention to make at least one person's life brighter.
Thanks for reading and your support! Please feel free to share and spread the word!
**** The $4,500 is the bare bones that I need to cover recording costs. On Kickstarter its an all or nothing deal. If I don't reach the goal, I won't get any of the money raised. However, if I reach the goal and still have time left I can exceed my goal. Which in a dream world, would be incredible and allow me to do even more and allow me to have extra money to put towards artwork/photography and CD duplication.
