Celyn of Gwent: 'Help Crowdfund My Debut Album'
Cwmbran, Torfaen Principal Area, United Kingdom
Aim
Fundraising the final costs for the completion and release of my debut album 'Dying and Rising'.
Introduction
Hello friends old and new! After 10 years creating and performing my music I’m finally ready to release my debut studio album!
I need your support to finish the project and share it with the world. As thanks I’m offering a range of rewards for contributing here.
The Rewards
By supporting this project you're investing in me and my music and I would be honoured to have your backing and community.
For your valued support there are a range of rewards including:
- Digital album download
- Physical CD of the album
- High-quality eco-ink printed, heavyweight organic cotton T-shirt
- Combination Bundles of these Options
As a queer artist with a deep connection to nature, my music responds to the climate crisis and the troubled times we’re living in.Here’s what Wales’ leading cultural magazine Buzz Mag had to say about me:
‘Deep-rooted connection to Welsh heritage through their powerful and evocative music.’
It’s been a joy connecting with more and more people who resonate with my weird and wonderful music. Maybe that’s you!
The Album
‘Dying and Rising’ has been a labour of love and it’s so close to being complete!
In the album I combine sounds of avant-pop, electronica, traditional ballads of the British Isles, my spoken poems and field recordings from nature.
The tracks are almost ready to go thanks to support from Help Musicians. I’ve written, recorded and produced them, and worked with some very talented collaborators, such as Helen Noir, who has been an incredible Mixing Engineer for the whole album, and J. Aria who co-produced 2 tracks.
With your support I’ll be able to work with Mastering Engineer Izzy McPhee to professionally master the tracks, complete the project and share a musical creation I am incredibly proud of.
The Money
Trying to make ends meet in this industry feels really precarious for independent artists like myself. If you are in a position to support me to create and share this music, it would make a huge difference.
Any contribution, large or small, is greatly appreciated and go towards:
- Mastering Engineer Costs
- Manufacturing and Postage Costs (Physical Album and T-Shirt)
- Artist Fees and Designer Fees
- Album Promotion (Social Media Advertisements etc.)
- Digital Distribution Costs
Any additional funds raised beyond the target will go towards other upcoming costs including: - UK Live Touring Costs (Travel, Accommodation, Venue Hire, Technicians, Advertising)
- Professional overheads (website costs, insurance etc.)
If you aren’t in a position to contribute financially at the moment, then sharing this Crowdfund and spreading the word is a great help.
