FAQs:
CAN I DONATE AN AMOUNT NOT LISTED HERE?
You can donate any amount you wish. However, at this point, the minimum donation is $25 in order to receive the great benefits that each level brings.
WHERE IS MY MONEY GOING AND WHY $15,800?
There are many costs involved in making the album:
mastering of the album.
Overall, we are keeping the costs low, since we are depending on YOU, the fan and supporter to SPREAD the WORD around your area. Share with
your friends, family, co-workers and, even people you do not like too much!
HEY AMIENA YOU TRAVEL ALL AROUND THE WORLD, AREN'T YOU RICH?
Great question- however, I am not.
Wish I was so could pay for my own record as I did with Right Here, (even on that project I had a few great friends make various contributions).
However, my touring and traveling expenses are covered by those who hire me to perform AND, through the sales of my "Right Here" CD bought by great supportive fans like you.
Without that, travel would not be possible.
HOW DO I KNOW WHERE MY HARD EARNED MONEY IS GOING?
Again, great question! The money goes ONLY to help pay the expenses of creating this record!
Also, each time I am in the studio, you will be notified (unless you opt out of that) and you can view via the "Members Only" link, where your HARD EARNED money is going.
SO I'VE SIGNED ON & SUPPORT YOUR PROJECT. WHERE'S THE PRODUCT?
We've already started! However, as you see the funds go up, I begin more work in the studio. (Gotta pay the studio, producer & musicans - although they are giving me a financial break since I am an independant self supporting artist). We already have the songs, we are working on some arrangements and are hard at work in the studio! It's just a matter of raising the last bits of money to launch the CD.
IS MY CONTRIBUTION TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
No, it is not. Sorry ~ however, you are doing an awesome thing by helping me with my new record and, I am grateful. You are also enabling independent artists like me to give back by donating portions of the proceeds of my sales to humanitarian causes. How cool is that?
IF I MAKE A DONATION AND YOU ARE PLAYING IN MY TOWN, CAN I GET TICKETS FOR FREE?
It's a possibility! Just email me and I will try my best to make it happen.
However, when I am playing a house/private concert, it likely won't happen. However, you are WELCOME to invite me into your home in advance and we can do another show just for you and your mates! (We LOVE doing this!!!)
IF I DONATE A HIGHER AMOUNT BUT NOT AT LEVEL 1 OR 2, CAN YOU PLAY A HOUSE CONCERT?
We can talk about that of course! My flight/muscian and other travel expenses must be paid in order for that to happen (remember, I am an independent artist) but I would love to try. Simply drop me an email and ask!
Sometimes when on the road we have a few days of freedom, so if your city is on our route, I am confident we can do it.
CAN I GET AN AMIENA T-SHIRT even if I can't donate $75.00?
Yes! Providing you promise not to use if for a dust cloth around the house :-)
If you have any more questions that are not covered here, please email me at: info@amiena.com, I will get back to you.
Thanks for supporting independent music & artists but mostly, thanks for believing in me! |
