Crowdfund This: Help Brad Carter Record An Album Before It’s Too Late!
We usually feature cool geeky projects and films in our ‘Crowdfund This’ column, but this campaign is simply too heartfelt and important to ignore.
Brad Carter is a Los Angeles based actor, artist, stand-up comedian, and guitarist. His name may sound familiar, as Brad’s been somewhat of an internet sensation for the past few months. His story has been featured on countless news outlets, and was even shown on the Today Show.
Brad has a disease called “Essential Tremor”. He’s had brain surgery twice in the past few months, and is going to need even more in the near future. All he wants to do is create a studio album before he can no longer play guitar, and he needs our help to do it.
Take a look at Brad’s Kickstarter video below, and read on for more info.
Heartbreaking, isn’t it?
As you learned in the video, Brad is looking to raise a minimum of $45,000. Here’s the breakdown of the costs associated with his album:
-Producer fee – $2500 x 10 Songs = $25,000
-Studio Time- $300 per day x 20 days = $6,000
-Mixing – $500 per song = $5,000
-Mastering= $1,200
-CD Production= $1,100
-Recording Total = Approximately $38,500-Then we add in: Kickstarter Fees (5%), Amazon Fees (5%), and team support!
Let’s make it happen. There are plenty of awesome rewards up for grabs, including copies of the album, t-shirts, producer credits, and even private live shows and skateboards signed by Tony Hawk! Brad sounds like an amazing guy, and it would be absolutely incredible to see him able to make his album before it’s too late. If you can’t back, please share this one with your friends!
Brad’s campaign is currently 45% funded, with $20,391 of its $45,000 goal. There’s two weeks left to back, which is plenty of time to see Brad succeed.
Let us know if you’re planning to be a backer on this one!
