ACHF Arts Access
My goal is to release an EP, followed by a full length album. Once these items are distributed among the music streaming platforms, I have created my 100 cds, I have paid for recording and mastering, and paid for artwork, I will succeed in reaching my goals. I have made professional partnerships with several artists and event planners. I have also adequately worked with Tom Fabjance and Huntley Miller to record NorShore Summit's Blue Jay. I have a strong work ethic, especially when it comes to my music and I am tremendously passionate about finishing this project to the best of its ability. I will know that I have reached my goal when all parties have been paid and I have completed my project.
I achieved my artistic goals through my project. I successfully recorded two albums (EP and full length) worth of music .
