"MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE"
But to do this through my music, I need to finish my "Better Place Album". This evolves many costs that I am unable to cover alone. With your support through the Crowdfunding Campaign, I can finalize this production. This will allow me to then give 50% of the profit from each CD sold to a very special charity project. Suggestions of a charity of choice is welcome and I look forward to hearing your submissions.
Here is how the Crowdfunding Project works:
Simply choose your "Thank You" reward from the list below or enter a free amount of your choice and then click on “Support Now”.
Thank you for your support. I am very grateful for every donation made and look forward to you hearing my original music.
The project goal is to follow the ethos of the campaign which is ultimately to try and make the world a better place through the 50% charity donation this CD will provide.
However, I can't do this alone, we can only do this together!
I hope that my songs will inspire and encourage listeners to dance, smile, sing, love, share, give and appreciate the many beautiful things in everyday life. We are all brought into this world to discover our own true essence and talent in life. We have many people that surround us which bring much meaning and love to our lives.
This album is for them. Thank you for always encouraging me to stay true to myself, to keep going when I found things hard and for allowing me to do what I love the most, sharing my music and vision with you all.
The album embraces many topics from social and personal experiences, past and new relationships, highlighting my very exciting road trip in California with my very special partner Lauren. The album is inspired by my relationship with Lauren and both our love for song writing. Many of the songs expresses this bond we have for each other and I hope they too resonate and bring good feelings to you.
By supporting this project, you allow my music firstly to be produced but secondly and most importantly, share your hard working income, knowing that you have supported two projects in one. Donating to a special charity in need and allowing a young man fulfill a life long dream.
i hope that by your support, you too feel inspired from my music to live life in a meaningful way with love and happiness that will help make our world we all share together a better place. We can do this only together, everyone making small differences on a daily basis and sharing our smiles, skills and generosity with others.
I wanted to give you a selection of "Thank-You" rewards to donate and support my music. I love that this platform allows me to personally give back something to my supporters as a token of gratitude for your donation. This is the greatest gift for me on a personal level as it allows me to share and give my appreciation back to you.
The selection of "Thank You" rewards consist of
Pre-Ordering the CD,
Fan Merchandise,
A Cooking Session with me & my guitar!,
An Intimate concert in your own living room with me OR with the Band.
In addition, all of my supporters will be listed in the credits of the Album. I want you to know that I respect and appreciate your donation so your contribution will live on in my CD.
If this crowdfunding campaign is successful, it will allow all remaining parts of the unfinished songs to be recorded and mixed. This involves high production costs.
The "Better Place" album will consist of 12 original songs. This requires a large CD production, leaflet creation, packaging, graphic design, CD pressing, publishing and postage of CD's.
Half the money made from each CD sold will be given to a charitable project. You can suggest a charity for me to consider donating this reward too by sending me a private email.
They are many important people in my life that are behind this "Better Place" project. However one of the most influential is my Irish girl, Lauren. Lauren is from County Clare on the West Coast of Ireland and was brought up with a love for Irish music and dance. Lauren has always encouraged me with my music and inspired me to take the plunge on creating and producing my very own album.
Lauren has helped me with all the songs on this album. Songwriting is a secret skill Lauren unfolded when she met me and her way with words, brings many great lines to the songs which everybody will resonate with. Together we wrote the lyrics for the songs and grew as a couple. I have learnt from Lauren what it means to truly give and love from the heart which I will be forever grateful.
Further supporters are the excellent musicians, with whom I have the honor to be on stage. These are Adolfo Strufaldi (bass), Felix Zimmermann (drums), Uzo (saxophone) and Denis Goev (trumpet) and also Karsten Deutschmann (sound engineer & producer). .With my whole team, I will be able to realize a tour across Germany in 2021, so that the message of "BETTER PLACE" is carried around the world.
