Eboni Fondren - Live Album Recording Project

Dear friends, fans, and music enthusiasts,

My name is Eboni Fondren and I'm thrilled to announce that I'm embarking on an incredible journey as an international jazz artist, and I'm about to record my very first album. This project means the world to me, and I can't wait to share my original tunes with all of you.

As an independent artist, it can be challenging to produce an album with limited funds. That's where your support and generosity become so important. I have set up a crowdfunding campaign to help me raise the necessary funds to bring this album to life, and I would be truly grateful if you could be a part of it.

By donating to my campaign, you'll not only be contributing to the creation of this album, but you'll also be playing a crucial role in supporting independent artists like me. Your contribution will directly fund the recording, production, mixing, mastering, and promotion of this album, ensuring that it reaches as many ears as possible. You will be directly contributing to these essential aspects of the album recording and release. Your support will help bring this project to life and reach a wider audience. No matter the size of your contribution, your involvement is greatly appreciated.

How will your donations be allocated:

1. Live Recording - Approximately $3,000:

This portion of the funds will be allocated to cover the expenses related to the live recording of the album. It includes payments for the audio engineer, venue fees, session players, and producers. It will also cover the costs of mixing, mastering, and CD authoring, which is estimated to be around 30+ hours of work. Some of the specific expenses include studio rentals, final editing, and the overall sound quality enhancement.

2. Licensing, Digital Advertising, and Promotion - $1,000:

To make the album accessible to a broader audience, it is essential to allocate funds for music licensing and streaming platforms. This will ensure that the album is available on various platforms for listeners to enjoy. Additionally, a portion of the funds will be dedicated to targeted advertising on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Promotional campaigns on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube will also be supported, increasing visibility and engagement.

3. Visual Content Production - $1,500:

To enhance the overall aesthetic appeal and engage the audience visually, a portion of the funds will be allocated for high-quality behind-the-scenes content, album artwork, social media graphics, and photoshoots. This visual content will not only capture the essence of the album but also help create a cohesive and engaging brand image.

4. Merchandise Production - $2,500:

To provide fans and supporters with tangible items related to my album release, a portion of the funds will be allocated to merchandise production. This includes vinyl records, T-shirts, posters, and CDs. These items will not only serve as a way to spread awareness about my music but also provide supporters with collectible merchandise that they can proudly own.

DISCLAIMER: No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or returns on investment are offered in exchange for any donations made to my GoFundMe

Other Ways to Support:

You can be a valuable link in my chain of support, even without a financial contribution to the campaign. Sharing this crowdfunding campaign with your friends, family, and social media networks is an incredible way to help me reach a wider audience. Posting about it on social media or sending personal emails or text messages to your contacts would make a significant impact.

However you choose to be a part of my journey, whether through a donation or sharing the campaign, I am immensely grateful for your advocacy. I can't wait to celebrate the outcome of this album with you! Please consider contributing to my crowdfunding campaign. Every dollar counts, and together, we can make this album a reality.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering supporting my musical endeavor. Your belief in me and my music means the world, and I can't wait to share this incredible journey with all of you.

Musically Yours,

Eboni "JzzyLady" Fondren
