My First Album Campaign
Hey everyone! My name is Matt Gardiner, and I’m a musician, singer, songwriter and producer from Pietermaritzburg!I am really really excited to be sharing with you that I am releasing my first ever album this year. It’s the first time in my career that I’m dropping a full body of work and I absolutely can not wait for you to hear it. I have collaborated with a few of my friends on some of the tracks, which is a massive honour in itself. I’ve gotten the privilege to get the songs to their final form with two incredible artists and producers, our local legend of the game Daniel Baron, and American legend John McLucas.
I am normally not the kind of person who likes to ask for help, but I would absolutely love and appreciate any and all support on helping get this project over the line. I have to date personally raised the first half of the cost of the project, and I would be incredibly grateful to anybody who would feel that they would like to help me achieve my dream of dropping my first album.
The cost of the album does not only entail the recording and the mixing and mastering, but it also includes the cost of PR, pitching the songs to playlists and radio stations, advertising as well as a photo shoot and album artwork design. I am also learning so much working with a guy like Daniel and to me the knowledge that I’m getting from him is absolutely priceless.
In no way do I ever want to just outright ask for funding to help me, I would like to make sure that anybody who donates towards my dream gets something in return for their faith in me.
Please also contact me if you would like to help towards getting my album out by booking me for any event or function that you will be having during the course of this year.
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for being so kind and willing to help me get this dream of mine into the air. I love you guys, and I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without all of you. I can not wait for you to hear this album, I love it!
Matt
