Hey kids,

So as you may know or maybe not, I released my debut EP last year (2015) and people didn't hate it, which was nice. People didn't hate it so much that now I feel that I have enough love, excitement,  passion and mac'n'cheese in my heart that I want to release another little EP baby into the world, (because it's the only baby I'm equipped to handle right now). Since 'Even' was launched onto the world, I've gotten to do a lot of really cool things and a lot of them was because of you guys! So I'd love for you to be involved in this.                                                                          You got to me the Deni Ute Muster!

I've gotten to experience a lot of new things since writing and releasing 'Even'. I've had a few birthdays so I'm very grown up now. I've lived on my own, crossed paths with a few wonderful people and a few dirty soandsos. I've been broke as a joke (been? pfft am), fallen in love, broken hearts - the whole early 20s life lesson package has really started to be completed. Luckily, for all of these experiences, I've had a pen at the ready, a guitar at arms length and, with the magic brain machine in my noggin, I made the songs pop out. And I hate to toot my on horn but TOOOOOOOOOTTT, they got gooder. I can honestly say if you liked my last EP, you will love this one. It's like 'Even' but with glitter, sprinkles, ponies, puppies, new clothes, internet shopping, pasta and chocolate on top. Geez, what a mess. I am so excited and proud of this new project and I think you will be too. And you know how you can be prouder? By being apart of the journey, from songbook to CD. 

I just completed a uni degree (wahoo, piece of paper!) and am currently paying all my bills with gigs. This is not a whine but I do feel like some cheese. Anyhoo, due to a couple of recent events the bill paying is more bill than paying and not the good kind of Bill (Murray). 

Who gave this idiot a degree?

You might be thinking, why would I part with my precious, precious dollaz just so you can record a new bloody EP? Well, I know how important makin' it raiiinnnnn is and I completely, tottally, utterly appreciate anything you can spare for the record and I wanna give you presents for doing that! I LOVE PRESENTS! There's a bunch of different packs of cool bananas-level prezzies AND you get the brand spanking new EP too!

I love a good crafternoon and in some ways my whole life is one, I'm always covered in glitter and my career is very DIY. I'm totally independent, self managed/booked/fed artist. Which is why I'm counting on you beautiful, cute-haired, well dressed legends with great taste in music to get behind me on this next chapter. 

                                                           Me trying to stare you down to give me some clams

So have a look at the goodie bags and pick one or two that strikes your fancy! Every little bit counts, seriously! Because if we don't reach our target by the the finish date WE GET NOTHING! Your money will still be taken and given to the internet abyss, so please give what you can spare and share it with your friends and enemies.

Please note the money will not be taken from your card/account until after the cut off date, so you can still afford those new shoes in your wishlist on ASOS. 

So Pledge me that Pledge you bloody Ledge!!!

Thank you so much for making my dreams part of your life. 

I promise I won't let you down!

Love Hayley xx

Well, I like reallllly like these boots and I think you'd really like to see me wear them sooooo-

Nah kidding mate! This money will be going straight to the bank and then to pay some of the fees involved in getting this baby out in your hot little hands. 

It will help me cover:

Studio time, producer extraordinaire, amazing musos - $9000

Mastering- $720

EP Artwork & Design - $1400

CD Manufacturing - $1500

Video production - $6550

I'm asking for $3000 but if we get more than I will cry with happiness. 

If we smash our target (please do), I will be donating a portion of it to White Ribbon Australia. 

Money Money Money!

Finance is the main challenge right now, so I'm really counting on you lucky stars to dig around your couch for spare change, birthday cheques you don't want/need, money/credit cards from your parents wallet (kidding! Kids don't steal stuff), or just money that you would usually spend on something you simply don't need. I'm here to help your buyer's regret. Because you won't regret this!

So, unless I have another slip'n'slide related accident and break a bone, fall out or bed and break my finger or put my hand in the fan because I'm performing a song from Cats in my bedroom mirror too passionately, we should be fine. But even if any of those dumb but painful things happen, AGAIN, you bet your sweet patooty - I'm gonna still make the best damn record I ever have!!
