Christopher Yungblut hasn't added a story.
You've heard the story about the talented musician who got burned in a three-way script? Over-educated, undiagnosed manic-depression and attention deficit disorder, and having too long refused to follow his bliss?
It's all true, but let's focus on the positive, because great things are happening for me in my new home of Timmins, with many thanks to the moral support of my friends and colleagues in the community. I've discovered both the passion and the drive to dedicate myself to the hard work necessary to start translating talent into professional excellence. I've been blessed with the encouragement of others that has allowed me to find my voice as an artist. I've begun composing again and am finding new ways to share my music with the community. In particular, paying it forward to those like myself living with diverse challenges of mental health. Meanwhile, through my involvement in social enterprise, I'm finally feeling like the degrees in Religious Studies and Social Work were not such a waste of time after all!
I'm seeking support from the crowdfunding community to help me achieve three primary goals: a) to dedicate a siginificant portion of my days to the pursuit of excellence in music -- practice, composition and recording; b) to subsidize the sharing of free or discounted music lessons and volunteer performances to marginalized members of the community; and c) to allow me the freedom to get more involved as a volunteer in the non-profit sector in general.
I believe that with the help of short-term funding, my business as a music teacher and performer will be self-sustaining in the long term, and I am working with others in the community to expand not only the opportunities for those such as myself who have taken the plunge into starving artist-hood, but also for other artists who just want to see that it's possible.
