Making music isn’t just about passion—it takes real money to bring songs to life. From studio time, mixing, mastering, musicians, video production, and promotion… every release costs thousands of dollars. And the truth is, the old ways artists used to make a living—album sales, downloads, even fair streaming revenue—are mostly gone.

Today, platforms pay fractions of a cent per stream. Booking shows helps, but even live gigs come with high costs and long drives. We put in countless hours writing, recording, and creating content just to stay visible in a crowded world.

If my music has ever spoken to you—if a song made you feel something, got you through a hard time, or gave you a reason to smile—please consider donating. Every single dollar goes directly back into the music. It helps fund the next song, the next video, the next opportunity to connect with you.

I’m not backed by a big label. I’m backed by folks like you. And I promise to keep showing up, keep creating, and keep telling real stories—because this isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am.

🙏 Thank you for believing in independent music.
