Driftwood
Hi friend! You can still contribute to my crowdfunding campaign for my newly released EP “Driftwood”!
After recording my 2020 album, Shine, I realized just how much $$$ it is to produce this type of work! That financial burden almost kept me from producing another, but then I realized I have a wonderfully supportive circle who wouldn't want me to do this alone. So, this time around, it's been a community effort to help me continue to do the work that I love and share my music and its messages of authenticity, hope, and mindfulness!
My goal was to raise $6000 to cover the costs of recording, producing, and marketing Driftwood, and thanks to generous donors, I made it over halfway to that goal!
When you purchase “Driftwood” at the $35 or $50 support level, you’ll help me cover my costs of making and marketing this musical project.
Thanks so much for supporting independent music!

FAQs
-
🎵Studio time for recording sessions (this is where most of the $ is going!)
🎵Paying my band for live performances (so important—they are amazing!)
🎵 Marketing costs (website, branding, social media, press) so people actually hear it!
🎵 Music video of “Walden” (and hopefully a second single too) because music videos aren’t just for MTV anymore! They’re a way for independent artists to get more engagement for their songs, and they help creatively tell the story of a song.
🎵 Merchandise related to the EP, for giveaways and to sell on my website/at performances
🎵 Cost of purchasing the physical CDs of the EP (which you’ll get a copy of when you donate!)
🎵 Self-employment tax (Uncle Sam takes a LOT, so raising $6000 will offset this loss)
🎵 Shipping cost of donation goodies (thanks for paying a flat fee of $5 shipping upon checkout; it’s actually going to be a lot more than this to mail to certain parts of the country, so any additional money will go to offset this cost)

🎁 ASAP!

📦 You will notice a $5 charge for shipping. This is to help offset shipping costs, which quickly add up.
📦 International Shipping: I wish I could, but I tried recently to send one of my mindful collage magnets (a 3.5 in sq. one, to be exact) to Canada, and it was going to be $60!! That’s a NGH (aka NOT GONNA HAPPEN!). My apologies, but if you have a friend in the States we could ship to who you’ll be seeing soon or that you would like to gift your goodies to, that’s what I’d recommend.

💲 Unfortunately no, but I hope this doesn’t keep you from donating. I really appreciate your generosity and support of my music.
