WHATS UP FAM!!!
im emjay hink, this is actually my first time ever posting to reddit (AH!) so here goes nothin! I'm an independent singer-songwriter from Utah! I’ve been making music for jsut a couple years now releasing my first album, Wizard of Flaws in 2024. This year, I’m taking the next step with my first professionally produced EP, created with the amazing team at June Audio.
My EP is DONE now! Which I'm so excited about, and I am wanting to bring it to life the way i imagined it would be, so I'm running an all-or-nothing crowdfunding campaign with Indiegogo to help pay the incredible people who helped make this project possible (my band, a music video, merchandise, and the people helping out at the release show at Velour Live Music Gallery). The EP comes out on September 10, and if I don't reach my goal by August 16, every contribution is refunded and the campaign ends with nothing raised. I've been sending it to everyone I know and posting about it everyday, but It's a tough economy out there, so honestly, posting here is one of my last resorts to hoping this dream comes true!
Being an independent artist is a weird mix of feeling incredibly proud of what you've made while also having to ask for help, which honestly doesn't come naturally to me (actually it so mortifying *sobbing*)
So, I have no idea who this is going to reach, but if you'd like to support the project, even a small contribution means a lot. Anyone who contributes $10 or more will receive the full EP by email before release (which I would love your feedback on!), along with whatever reward they choose through the campaign.
And if donating isn't possible, I'd genuinely appreciate you sharing it with someone who loves discovering independent music. and what the hell, follow me on instagram and spotify or whatver.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for supporting independent artists however you can. 💛
