Hi. I’m Kerri Leigh. Thank you everyone for stopping by my Rocket Hub
page. That alone means the world to me.
Let me tell you a little bit about me, as some of you may already
know, I moved to New York City to become a successful recording artist
and this past year has been a whirlwind pursuing that dream! 12 months
ago I met Craig Wilson, who has become my co-writer and guitar player.
Since then, I have found management, play sold out shows in some of
NYC’s most legendary venues, (like The Bitter End, The Highline
Ballroom, and Canal Room) and played a string of great shows in
Nashville! I have also had a few great meetings with some pretty
important record industry types. Like I said, it’s been a big year!
All of the hard work I have done this past year has brought me to
where I am today…and that’s where YOU come in. In order to take my
career to the next level and become the next big country superstar
(which is what my dream is) I need to record a c.d. of my songs.
Recently, I have been writing with some amazing New York and Nashville
writers (some of the same people that write for Trisha Yearwood, Faith
Hill, Celine Dion and many others) and I now have a group of songs
that are getting some great attention from music industry executives
and audiences alike. In fact, if you’ve been to one of my shows
recently (like when we SOLD OUT the Highline Ballroom in New York
City) you may have heard one or two of them!
In order to record these songs in a professional studio and with great
musicians in Nashville I need your help. Recording is expensive and
your generous donations will go directly to funding for hiring
musicians, the studio time, graphics and duplication of the c.d.
Getting as far as I’ve gotten has been a true team effort between
myself, and my writers. Now it’s time for you to join the team and
thanks to Rocket Hub, you can! I’m so happy to be able to include you
and to offer some really cool rewards when you donate your “rocket
fuel” (money, for those of you not familiar with the Rocket Hub lingo
just yet) to help fund my debut c.d. I am so grateful and want to
thank you so, so much in advance for giving whatever you can.
Much love, Kerri Leigh
