help Glockabelle fund her music school & album
Donation protected
I’ve never been great at asking for help, so this is an exercise in having faith and allowing my community to support me!
I’m Annabelle, an artist and musician living in Upstate NY. I'm better known to most as Glockabelle: a Casio VL-Tone/glockenspiel synthpop shredder who's performed all over the globe.
My mission has always been to provide joy and refuge from life's dark moments through music but I've been out of shows for months due to Covid-19 and have been unable to finish funding my first full length album.
-- Why do I do this? --
Because it healed me.
19 years ago, doctors told me I'd be on heavy pharmaceuticals for life. After years of dreadful side effects, I decided enough was enough and a few years ago began a new journey of diet, exercise, therapy, checkups and lots of positive thinking to heal myself and break free from this Sisyphean destiny.
When I perform I'm fearless, I'm ecstatic, I’m determined but most importantly, I'm free. There are no doctors, pills or bills. It’s just me, my two Casio VL-Tones, my Yamaha MR-10, my 11 effects pedals, my eight thimbles, one hot-pink-duct-taped-half-broken glockenspiel and one white tiger given out randomly to an audience member for good luck, courage and strength as they go forward.
-- What's the plan? --
I’m raising funds to create a music school in Upstate NY and complete my first full-length album, Hommage Aux Sauvages (Ode to the Wild Ones). I currently teach remote but would like to establish a school where students of all backgrounds (racial, gender, financial) can come for music lessons once it is safe to do so. Special scholarships will be available to those who are unable to afford the full cost of a music education. Outdoor shows will be curated by me from spring through fall on the school's land. My goal is to share with my community the same light that music has given to me. The school will also be my home.
-- Where you headed? --
I’ve found my dream location in Upstate NY. If I’m able to raise the funds in a timely manner I’ll have a shot at acquiring this property. If Plan A doesn’t work out, I’ll continue to hunt down properties in the same area. Everyone who contributes $50 and higher will get a free download of the record :)
All money raised will go towards:
- purchasing the property
- moving costs
- LLC business fees
- furnishing the school
- album production costs (mixing, mastering, PR, physical copies)
-- When will this all go down? --
ASAP! Ideally within the next 6 months.
Thank you so much for your support. It truly means the world to me.
