PRESENTING KIWI MUSIC AND TALENT TO NASHVILLE

$1,368 of $19,000 goal
Given by 12 generous donors in around 6 months

I'm raising funds to go towards a week of recording sessions at Roundhead Studios in Auckland.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Hi, my name is Carson and I'm a 16 year old singer/song writer/musician from Palmerston North.

I'm raising funds to go towards a week of recording sessions at Roundhead Studios in Auckland. The recordings that I produce will end up being sent to producers mainly in Nashville as well as other places internationally. The cost is $19,000 including airfares, accommodation, food, venue hire and supporting artist fees.

I am currently in the process of a Career Design Contract under the wing of New Zealand Guitarist, Gray Bartlett.

Later on in the year, I will be travelling to Nashville with Gray Bartlett and Mark Dennison to meet the producers from Nashville in person.

I have done recordings at Roundhead Studios before at the expense of my family. I am also a member of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Choir which cost $7500. I busk every week to help pay for all the expenses but it is still very hard to raise the money.

Use of funds

The money that I receive from donations will go towards recording costs at Roundhead Studios and wages for any musicians and/or recording technicians. Any excess funds will go towards my trip to Nashville in May
