This goal is the sum I need to make the studio production of my second album possible. I can only achieve it with your generous help and support!
Over the past few years I've literally done hundreds of gigs. Now the challenge is to capture the live magic on record. I've put together a great team to make this happen.
I'm working with Producer Zebo Adam (Bilderbuch) for this record. Zebo is edgy, fresh and eclectic, whilst maintaining a love for the retro and handmade. We both see authenticity as an absolute priority. Production started November 2018. We are recording in the marvellous Bakermoon Studios in Berlin, as well as Zebo’s Studio in Vienna until Christmas.
After that the record will be mixed, mastered and pressed. Then we will have a giant party and invite you all :)
The goal of this project is to record, mix, master, press and release my second studio album on CD and Vinyl. I love the idea of involving my friends and loyal fans as active investors in the project. You get to become a key part of the process and in the end we can call this something we made together.
There have been countless amazing and touching moments with audiences over the past few years. I've been utterly enriched by those exchanges and experiences with you all. I very much hope that my musicians and I have managed to bring you cheer and happiness.
We love doing what we do but of course it's a hard road. I do have a lot more infrastructure in place for this record than in the past, which is a lovely feeling. Many aspects of this production are still self-financed however. I'm funding the production of this record by myself, independently and I can't do that without the help of my fan base. Please help me and my team record this music we are so proud of. I can't wait to come on tour after the release and create a whole new bunch of memories with you all.
There is quite the extensive list of costs I'm covering right now :) The crowd funding campaign will contribute to the following:
The producer’s fees, paying for high-end professional recording studios, paying for a top quality sound engineer, mixing, mastering, musician’s fees, instrument hire, media, design and promotion costs, flights and logistics, music video production, vinyl pressing.
I am incredibly lucky to have an enthusiastic and dedicated team behind me.
I'm looking forward to working with label Jazzhaus Records who will be releasing the record, publisher Kick the Flame Verlag, and Management and Booking Agency Musszo.
I also have a new and brilliant band that will create the fresh sound I’m looking for. Tobias Kabiersch is playing both electric and double bass on the record. Drummer Pier Ciaccio brings a mix of jazz and a laid back soul/hip hop feeling and keyboarder Matthew Paull will be playing synths, real hammond, real rhodes, and real grand piano. Yum. Maestro Ben Barritt is joining us on electric guitar as well. Ed Bentley from Bakermoon Studios is recording us.
Let the fun begin!!
