Soul Hymns 2
Donation protected
Welcome to the sequel, this may be the last time i use both of the words “soul” and “hymns” in the same album title. LOL
here’s the situation:
i’ve got a full dropbox folder, and it’s more than enough for a full length album (12-16 songs). Starting with authentic, sincere lyrics, written in the context of an intimate relationship with the Lord,
Ethan C Davis (the producer behind the original Soul Hymns) and I will be crafting each song into a bedroom-soul, minimalist type production.
In order to make this album, we need to raise $26k to cover production & marketing expenses, and to help bring on a team to run the administrative side of the album so that I can focus on writing/singing/playing.
I’ve found that if i remain in the creative zone & stay away from admin, the creative works that come out of me are much more authentic.
As an independent artist, recently engaged & soon to be married, it will be no small task to take on embarking toward this new album while also trying to plan my wedding, but I’m honored to have my lovely fiance & creative genius Abreonna by my side. She’ll be running point on social media and marketing.
She’s a clock and I’m a cloud, she keeps me grounded and focused, and I can’t wait to let y’all experience what we create together.
As I’m independent with no label backing, this is a unique opportunity that I have to get to invite you to support this album financially & with your prayers.
In exchange for your support; I’d love to invite you to a secret club where you’ll get infinite early access to all of the songs in each stage of their metamorphoses. From voice memo to final recording! You’ll also get to throw down for each single’s launch, as everything we do here is grassroots, you’ll get to help with all-hands-on-deck song launches (doesn’t take much time at all), which really helps the launch process for each song to be boosted by the algorithm.
Thanks for being here, let me know if you’re down to be onboard :)
