From Vision to Reality ...
For years, I've been dreaming about creating my first EP and a professional live performance reel. Now, that dream is finally becoming a reality—and I'm inviting you to be part of it.
This project is more than recording music. It's the beginning of a new chapter. After moving to Minneapolis, I'm rebuilding my career as an artist and musician. This debut EP represents my voice, my experiences, and the direction I'm taking as I step into this next season. Alongside the EP, I'll be producing a high-quality live performance reel that showcases my musicianship and artistry. This reel will help me connect with booking agents, venues, festivals, and future fans while opening doors to new performance opportunities.
As an independent artist, I'm building this project from the ground up while balancing life as a full-time college student and working adult. Every part of this journey—from planning and arranging to practicing and producing—is being done with intention. While I've invested years of preparation into this project, bringing it to life requires resources that are difficult to fund alone.
Your support will help cover expenses such as:
Studio recording sessions
Professional mixing and mastering
Live performance video production
Venue and location rental
Session musicians
Audio and video production costs
Equipment, logistics, and other production expenses
Every contribution, no matter the amount, moves this project one step closer to becoming reality.
More than anything, this project represents hope. As an educator, I want my students to see that pursuing your dreams doesn't stop because life gets busy or difficult. I want them to witness someone who continues to create, learn, and persevere despite obstacles. If this project encourages even one student to believe their own dreams are possible, then it has already made an impact beyond the music.
Thank you for believing in me, supporting independent art, and helping make my debut EP and performance reel possible. Whether you donate, share this campaign, or simply cheer me on, you are becoming part of this journey.
I can't wait to share this music—and this new chapter—with you.
With Love,
Jozee
