Help Kristian to get his artist visa and 3 more years in USA

Hi there,

My name is Kristian Crone. I am a musician, producer, and co-writer from Copenhagen, Denmark, based in Hollywood, California. I’m reaching out to you guys to ask for your support regarding my artist visa.

My American journey started on Oct 1, 2022, when I had the opportunity to study at the world-renowned Musicians Institute of Contemporary Music. I graduated as an honor student in March 2024, and straight after that, I got a one-year work visa, which now has reached its end.

During that year, I have been playing and traveling quite a lot in the US with some amazing musicians. For example, I did a two-week tour in the Midwest, starting from Kansas City to South Dakota. I played on New Year's Eve in Phoenix, which was amazing, and of course, I’ve played a lot of shows in Los Angeles. One of those shows was at the legendary Troubadour, a famous venue where people like Miles Davis and Elton John have performed in the past.

Keith Carlock – Steely Dan drummer.

“I met Kristian while working in Los Angeles and have since gotten to know him. He is an exceptionally talented musician with a strong work ethic, great people skills, and a drive that will help him achieve many more accolades and accomplishments. Kristian has the right attitude and character to succeed in the business of music, and I strongly recommend him for this visa.”

I met Keith at the legendary jazz club Baked Potato, where he played with LA guitarist Michael Landau. After the show, we talked for quite some time, and we have stayed in touch ever since.

Besides performing and doing sessions, I am also teaching at Allegra Music Academy and Evolution Music Conservatory four days a week. I teach drums, bass, guitar, and ensemble classes (bands).

This journey started as a dream when I was a little kid, which now has become true, and I cannot tell you how grateful and thankful I am that I have had this amazing opportunity. The next step is to get the artist visa, which can last up to three years, but unfortunately, I don’t have the finances and resources to start the process just yet. The immigration fees, government fees, lawyer fees, etc., are very expensive.

The opportunities I have had in just a single year have been amazing and very overwhelming. I can only imagine what three years would lead to.

Together with your help, I would be able to stay in the US and share my journey and stories with you all.

Thank you all for reading this, and remember… Dreams DO come true!

Kris
