This is me explaining why I need you.

Dearest friends, fans, family, and lovers -
For the past year I've been hard at work on my first full length album (11 songs!). It's been a heck of a process mentally and monetarily, but I've finally made it (close) to the finish line. This is where you, beloved old and new pals, come into play.
Releasing a record is a big and costly process. Though I've been able to fund the recording costs thus far, I'm still in need of cash dollar for things like: CD pressing, duplication and design, a PR company, a website, photography, a chauffeur...the list goes on! I'll need at least $1,000,000,000 for all this, but I'll settle for $2,500.
Every bit of your contributions will go directly to the finalization, distribution, and promotion of this record (my baby). Even the smallest amount helps! In return, you'll walk away with all kinds of awesome goodies - from piano lessons to personalized, in-home concerts for you and your fancy friends!
This is a serious call to action, since RocketHub is an "all or nothing" platform - this means I need to raise the full goal amount to receive the funds! So please do what you can to help me continue to do what I love. Be my record label! And...get excited! The boys at the Cutting Room in NYC have helped turn this record into something you're gonna love (I promise!). It's full of well-crafted songs, incredible players, and great arrangements of tunes you may or may not have heard from me yet! Good things are bound to come from its release, and good Karma is likely to be your best friend forever.
