It takes a village…

Welcome to the community barn-raising for my upcoming album, Alive in the Wind.
I’m grateful to have you here!

A Peek Inside the Sanctum

From my home studio, you’ll hear the first seeds of “Made of Love,”
“I Miss You,” and “Oh Children”—3 of the songs appearing on Alive in the Wind. My vision for this project is to harken back to the classic album era—creating a deeply cohesive, immersive sonic chapter rather than a collection of random singles. Press play and imagine where these pieces will go.

Campaign Finances & Transparency

Bringing a 9-song independent record to life takes a village. Here is how the foundational budget breaks down:

• Raised so far: $14,650 — Thank you! This secured our first down payment on July 10
  and added $5,650 towards our phase 2 goal of $9,000.

• Total goal: $31,000 from start to finish.

• Recording and release costs: $27,000 for recording and mixing, plus $4,000 for mastering, design, marketing, and physical CDs/Phyzi digital albums.

• Next phases:

  • $9,000 due September 16.

  • $9,000 due November 10.

  • $4,000 for post-production leading toward a February 2027 worldwide release.
