Help Lecia Louise finish her album

Hello my name is Lecia Louise and I am a touring, recording artist, guitarist, singer, songwriter from QLD Australia. I am beyond excited to share with you that my full length album is nearly finished and set for release in 2025.

This project is close to my heart and one I have been working on since 2018. I worked hard to save up enough money to fly to Nashville and record the foundations of this album with some great producers and session players. I then brought these recording sessions back to Australia and continued recording and paying for them in some great studios with notable producers around QLD, NSW, USA as well as at home.

My goal is to finish all of the music part of this album, including final sessions, musician fees, mixing and mastering by the end of this year, or by the end of summer depending on peoples availabilities, so I can get it prepared for its release next year. Once I have all the music finalised I can then start the next portion of the project which is pay for artwork, pay for marketing promotion and press some CDs. I'm considering doing a run of vinyl if I can get enough pre-ordered but I'll cross that bridge next year because that is very expensive.

With your generosity, I am aiming to raise $5000 to complete the musical portion of this project.

While continuing work on the album, I have already released some of these songs as singles and an EP called 'Power and Passion' which has received some great feedback, airplay and chart positions. The single, My Everything' went to #1 on the triple J unearthed online charts in 2020 soon after its release, while 'Take It' made its way onto some country radio stations and 'Woodstock' gained a lot of air play as well.

This album is a collection of guitar and lyric driven blues/rock/country/soul music, with a broad selection of songs including topics of hope, inspiration, love, loss, historic music events to having a good time on the weekend and being robbed in Germany while on tour.

I’ve been working with some amazing people such as Steve James (The Screaming Jets, Monty Python, Cold Chisel), Malcolm Foster (The Pretenders, Simple Minds), James Black (Mondo Rock, RocKwiz, The Black Sorrows) Cameron McGlinchey (The Screaming Jets, Rogue traders), Ross Wilson (Mondo Rock, Daddy Cool, ARIA Hall of Fame), Joe Camilleri (The Black Sorrows, Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons), Michael Flanders, Jason Millhouse, Rick Hollis, Shannon Bourne (Russell Morris, The Black Sorrows, Don Walker), 8ball Aiken, as well as amazing musicians from Australia, Nashville and other regions.

I would love for you to partner with me in bringing this project to life. Every contribution, no matter the size, is greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering being a part of this project and please share it with your fellow music lovers.
