I've always been performing and listening to historical kabarett and vaudeville, letting myself get the inspiration I needed for the kinds of things I would need to perform for my original shows, "Ghosts of Weimar Past" and "Phantoms of the Cabaret", but little did I know that this would result in creating some of my OWN. If you've seen me perform, you may have heard "Wasted Girl", "Phantoms of the Cabaret", or "Coffin Built For Two", but this album will feature MANY other ENTIRELY UNHEARD pieces, all in the old-school American vaudeville/European kabarett/modern Dark Cabaret style I love so dearly.
The process to do so is quite expensive indeed, involving...
- Copywriting my pieces
- Paying my performers both on the album and at the debut performance
- Transportation to and rental of rehearsal spaces
- Transportation to and rental of a recording studio
- Producing and fabricating physical copies of the CD
- Rental/booking of the performance space for the debut performance
- Compensation of my time to compose and arrange
- Accompanying songbook of sheet music
- Album artwork

I fully intend to have this album completely finished and ready to launch by the end of the year, ready to perform at an exciting, to-be-announced venue. By contributing to this campaign, you are DIRECTLY giving support to NYC's rich and diverse performing arts scene, and feeding it's creative spirit. You get to participate in my personal, private creative process, and will be duly rewarded with your very own copy of the album (either digital or physical-- your choice) and video of the performance.
Thank you so much for your support!
