Back in March, I wrote that L.A. based singer/songwriter and favourite boy robot Simon Curtis announced that he would be launching a ‘kickstarter’ project sometime soon. Always true to his word, I’m pleased to say that today (Saturday July 27), Simon revealed that the $5,000 goal to make a video for a brand new song had been met – in TWO DAYS.
This only proves more and more that investing personally in your favourite performers’ works and careers is becoming the way to go in these days where record companies are much more selective about who they sign and invest in. The rich do get richer, but that doesn’t stop the rest of us from helping to make things happen.
Simon is leaving the door open to accept more pledges which could cover additional costs of releasing a single. But really that will be well-earned and tasty icing on the newly baked cake. Here is the link if you want to pledge: http://simonkillu.tumblr.com/post/56446221445/help-bring-my-debut-video-to-life
Also, you can read my comments about a recent and unreleased song of Simon’s called “Meteor”, which gives you a flavour of where the singer might be headed with new songs.
