Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcome #5: "Regional artists connect to new audiences and/or build relationships that provide artistic growth." Right now I'm signed to a distribution deal with Bentley Records, but I don't have many visuals or capital to keep creating music, so this grant could help me get more studio time, get some videos shot, meet networking contacts, and set up shows. It will also help give me the ability to get some wiggle room to save up to fund this stuff myself, and give me the confidence to know I'm on the right track and that people do support this journey. I would like to show everyone the behind the scenes process of all the hard work I've done to be here. I want to do a promo video of the whole entire thing, start to finish, so everyone can watch and see how far I have come for themselves. And also interviews and radio placements. I will keep a journal and bring along a videographer to film the stops.
