Music Funds for Grassroots Indie Artist "Ariel Jade"

Hiya! My name is Ariel Jade. I'm an independent music artist & songwriter from Mississippi, splitting time between there & Nashville. I grew up playing bluegrass, blues, folk, and Celtic music! I still have a love for my grassroots music but also now incorporate many "classic rock" & "folk rock" covers into my live gigs - i.e. The Beatles, Bob Dylan, CCR, The Band, Eric Clapton, etc. - as well as some "old" country like Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and Loretta Lynn.

I am currently writing & recording an album that I am writing with some very talented people from RCA Records - however, I am still an independent! That means I out-of-pocket studio and travel expenses, but it also means that I maintain more administrative rights, etc. with my music.

That all being said, it costs me roughly $1,000-$1,500 each trip per song, so I've just signed with RCA Studios to have these costs bundled into a studio joint venture - I am still independent and owe monthly rent for this lease.

Fighting through a brutal divorce since April 2021, my savings fund has dwindled to nothing more than 1 month's worth of bills. I have to either stop production mid-album until I can save enough funds, or the internet & crowdfunding lovers of music will save my work on this project & release projection for end of 2024.

If you'd like to support this lil ole indie artist, please donate here!

Every penny counts. Every "share" counts. I appreciate you taking the time to read!

Regardless of if you can contribute, I really hope you enjoy the new songs that I have been writing & recording. "Find Your Happy" & "As Close As You Can Get" are out now if you want a taste of the new 'old country' sound that I'm leaning into for this particular album! Streaming on all platforms - just search "Ariel Jade" (: Listen FREE on YouTube <3

UPDATE -

I completed recording my album, though it put me in over $8,000 in credit card debt, which I am slowly chipping away at... oh the things I do for my art.

IF you'd like to help me get those cards cleared and cut off, I'd greatly appreciate anything you can give!

Album release will be on my birthday this year - 12/10/2024!
