I made my goal! Thanks to everyone who helped! I could’ve done it myself, but I didn’t have $100,000.
I’ll keep the “Back this project” button active, just in case you want to give me more money so I can make even better music.
Album: “Lights. Camera. Jack!”
Help me help you make the future of music. For information, watch the video above. I’m not putting info here twice. That’s unnecessary work.
I need the money so people will take me seriously. I’m done with playing in coffee shops and open mics. I want to be a star by May 11th, which I will be once I get my $100,000. Money will get me noticed, not my skills.
I remember hearing my first song when I was five. I don’t know what it was, but it was definitely a song. I think there was a chorus, and probably verse.
My vision for the album is to have 15 original and soon to be classic rock songs. I am heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, and Green Day. I find my sound to be a mix between all of those.
Here is my proposed setlist:
Side A:
- Hells Shells
- Ramblin’ Guy
- Won’t Be Tricked Again
- Sunday in the Park
- Good Moon Rising
- Money for Something
- The Start
- Monkey Hammer
Side B:
- American Moron
- Hotdog in Paradise
- You’ve Got Another Thing Goin’
- White Dog
- Unfree Bird
- Normal Train
- Wish You Weren’t Here
FAQ
Why do you need $100,000? Just make an album in your garage.
I need to do it right. I need to sound professional out of the gate, or no one will listen to me.
What instruments do you play?
Most. I have a knack for music. I can pick up any instrument and be a master of it within minutes. Some say I’m gifted.
Are you singing on this album?
No. I’ll probably ask Adele or Dave Grohl for a favor.
I still don't get why you need $100,000.
That’s not a question, but to answer your statement as if it were a question: recording space ain’t cheap. I need the top of the line equipment and best crew in the biz to make music people will want to listen to.
What is the "Suez Crisis?"
I’m not sure, but here’s what I found on Wikipedia:
The Suez Crisis, also named the Tripartite Aggression[16] and the Kadesh Operation, was an invasion of Egypt in late 1956 by Israel, followed by the United Kingdom and France. The aims were to regain Western control of the Suez Canal and to remove Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser from power.[17] After the fighting had started, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations forced the three invaders to withdraw. The episode humiliated Great Britain and France[18] and strengthened Nasser.[19][20]
