Help fund On The Verge Of An Entirely New World  as it nears completion

$11,140 Goal

I’ve been tirelessly working on this album’s music and aesthetic for over 4 years. It has not been easy, and it has been entirely self-funded, which bears a heavy toll on me. Now, after needing to pivot on original post-production plans after a year of no progress - I’m faced with a large bill that you can help alleviate the pressure of.

I will break down costs here also. If you’re able, anything helps. Donation tiers will receive various perks/incentives for donating, which I will detail below. If somehow we go over the goal, the remaining donations will go to marketing/vinyl costs.

all my love,

DYL

How Donations Are Spent:

I have paid for some of this already, but the majority of it is unpaid. I am looking to also recoup what I have spent so that I can put it into marketing or physical perks for donating (sticker production/handwritten letter supplies and their shipping costs).
