Hi everyone!!! Well, this is a first for me in many ways. It's my very first crowdfunding campaign for my VERY FIRST ALBUM!!!!!! I am so nervous, excited, terrified, overwhelmed, elated and thrilled to be taking the next step in my career. Shit is getting real! YES I am doing it at 40 and it just goes to show it's never too late for anything! HOWEVER, I cannot do this without YOUR HELP. I've done lots of fundraising for different charities in the past but have never asked for money for myself.....IT'S SCARY!

The songs are READY! The studio is BOOKED. You will NOT have to wait too long for this album and the wonderful goodies I have instore for all of you. This album means a lot to me and I feel like I have put so much work into it over the last few years to ensure the songs are the best they can be and I will continue to write and edit songs right up until I go into the studio with Shane. YES THAT'S RIGHT!!!! I am making this record with my friend and EXCEPTIONALLY all-round talented man and my wine-drinking buddy Shane Nicholson. We have done some pre-production stuff already and I am THRILLED with what we're coming up with. The record will be edgy, a bit country, a bit rock and ALL AWESOME. We are so pumped for our creation and I really hope that you will believe in me enough to dig deep in support of this project and get some very cool stuff in return. Check out all the AWESOME rewards over that way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Already in my career I have had so much love and support for my music and have honestly done some incredible things that were beyond anything I could have expected. I have won awards and recieved international recognition for my writing, I have travelled the country in my caravan with Sheree(darls) and played with the BEST artists in the whole country. I really am living the best life I can right now and the album I bring to you will change everything.

THERE IS A CATCH!!!! I need to reach my target or I won't be able to keep ANY of the money to help with the project. I understand peoples financial situations so even if you can help me promote it, I will be SO grateful and SO happy. I love you all and would love for you to be a part of the creation of music. LET'S DO THIS!!!

Here's a breakdown of the costs involved in recording this album and a little promo. Obviously there's a HUGE chunk that I'll be funding myself but this will give you a good idea of the required elements of bringing you and the general public A FULL LENGTH ALBUM plus some promo AND getting you these delicious AF goodies (tell me you can live without an AF frisbee?!?!?!?!)........
