I have been asked many times over if my content is available on streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube music.

I have always said, “I am in the process of recording my first album.” But have never actually had the resources, courage or ability to do so.

I have since acquired the gumption, an incredible microphone, speaker, amp, Daw and badass MIDI interface :) But I am still lacking a few essential proponents to mainstream my creations.

This is where this fundraiser comes in.

The first $2000 will go towards a working laptop and proper camera.

This is so that I can create my own song releases for the time being, and also edit and upload better content to social media with a higher level of professionalism.

The following 10,000 dollars will go towards studio time (medium-quality rate of 150-200 per hour of recording time x 4 hours per song + 100/hr of studio musician hiring cost and 200/track mixing and mastering finishing costs.)

For the music I hear in my head, for every song, at a 12 song album, this is the bare minimum cost to create a mid-tier level first album (after my own personal releases with the first $2000.)

This will still necessitate supplementation by my own personal finances, and I have, and continue to, practice daily and tirelessly for full preparedness to keep the upfront costs as absolutely low as possible in order to capture more of what I hear via studio musicians (essentially my incredibly talented friends that I’ve met along the way.)

If you have any questions at all, especially about the integrity of this fundraiser, I would be happy to answer.

But for now, please simply know that I am grateful for every penny sent my way and thank you unduly for helping me achieve my dreams.

Though I have not set aside specific gifts towards donors, I wish to share now something I never thought I’d share… I have always kept a hand-written journaled list of every individual who has ever helped me along my way.

I only wish to share so much love and joy with these beautiful souls for the perpetuity of our lifetimes. ❤️

…If your name is already listed I’ll just have to write it twice.

Sincerely,

The Lizard Queen
