Hello Internet Family!

Many of you probably have no idea I launched my first Patreon campaign (www.Patreon.com/CarringtonKelso) back in 2019. If don’t know, Patreon is a crowdfunding membership platform that provides business tools for creators to run a subscription content service, with ways for artists to build relationships and provide exclusive experiences to their subscribers, or "patrons”. 

As an independent artist, it is difficult to bring many of my ideas to life due to financial  limitations (I.E. Music Videos, Marketing, Touring, etc). Streaming/selling my music/merchandise isn’t enough at the moment unfortunately. Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Youtube, Tidal, etc. pay anywhere from $.019 to $0.00074 per stream. Meaning, I would need 77,000+ streams to make the US minimum wage. (You can read more here: https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/12/25/streaming-music-services-pay-2019/ )

As of 2021 I don’t have a major label backing me, I don’t have a team helping me manage my music career, and I don’t have have 100,000+ fans…YET. But, I do have major label goals, I do have major label vision, I know who I am as an artist, and I need help to bring it all to life! I am in the process of rebranding my entire Patreon to better serve the existing patrons and those to come. You all will serve as my label essentially; you’ll get to hear demos early, music video concepts, life updates, early youtube videos, playlist, and MORE! I’m thinking custom merch, posters, you name it!

If you can spare a $1/month, I’ll take it. If you can spare $20/month, I’ll take it. No investment is too big or too small. Your support will help me expedite the consistency and quality of my uploads and allow me to create things I've only imagined in my head. And if you can’t invest at all, I completely understand and appreciate you regardless! Also, sharing it helps a LOT! I know that everyone doesn’t have the spare income right now (F**k COVID!!!), but sharing with a friend or two doesn't cost a thing!

Help me bring my world to life! I truly believe I’ve got something special and if you think so too, I’m asking you to invest today: www.Patreon.com/CarringtonKelso

(P.S. It’s a month-to-month subscription service so you can stop anytime you’d like!)
