Raising Money to Finish the ALBUM!
a very important Empress Album Update
by admin on Jun.02, 2009, under A L B U M, Raising Money to Finish the ALBUM!
Hello Lovely,
Once again, welcome to my new Blog.
This has been a very exciting nonstop productive year for me.
For the past 8 months, I’ve been alone working diligently on writing, producing, creating my first solo album, that I wrote to perform Live with my new band I’ve put together (& yes, I’ll be singing!) 
Its been intense! I’ve been working consistantly in my studio 6-7 days a week (with the exception of when I’ve traveled & had my Drum & Bass DJ shows).
This is the hardest I’ve ever worked in my life, yet, I’ve done it so passionately because I’m absolutely in LOVE with what I’m doing.
Its been a trip, switching gear into singer & song writer mode and oh so beautiful and liberating.
Anyhow, where I’m at in the production of the album is :
I have the 1rst 8 songs written. They are (drum roll pleeeease)…..:
The Time Is Now
Saviour
Alientation
Caught Up
Eat Me
Projection Rejection Protection
Disconnect
Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me
Basically now, I’m in the final stages of working out how this is going to go.
I need to raise money to fund everything from :
Mixing/Mastering
Additional Album production costs
Photoshoot expenses
PR
Rehearsal Space with my Band
Label (Empower Recordings) expenses
Web Costs
VIDEO SHOOT EXPENSE$!
ETC!
Myself & the Empower Team started a widget to allow my AMAZING fans pay to get involved early in the production process.
