My lifelong dream and passion is so close to being achieved. I can't believe how far I've come in just a few months. All my hard work, dedication, determination, ambition, and love is about to be returned to me. I'm so close, yet I just need some help in finishing it all up so I can launch.
Everything that has been completed so far is by the work of my hands and the sweat of my brow. I've financed everything as well as put all the necessary things together that I'll need for the successful launch of my solo singer-songwriter career. There are literally just a few things that need to be finished, most of which I've started. I'm not the type to beg, and I'm not the type to expect things to be handed to me. I believe strongly in working for what I want/need. But with how close I am, this is the rare time that I need some assistance in getting to the launch of my career... and I hate having to ask for this.
My awesome manager/management team has set up some things and worked out some things that I need done in order to launch. I trust my manager, and I trust that we will rise to the top of this industry. I am so grateful for my manager. This would not be possible without her.
Most of these things are a part of my EPK, (Electronic Press Kit). An EPK is a 360 degree view of me as a singer-songwriter, performer, and artist. It includes photos, music, my bio, show dates, a live performance video, merchandise, and other information pertaining to my work as a singer-songwriter. The EPK is my big ticket forward.
Okay, the first thing that I'm needing to do is shoot a live performance video. This video is literally going to be of me performing my song live. But, it is a professional video shoot, and the quality will be phenomenal. This video will be used for booking shows, landing endorsements/sponsors, gaining investors, and also promoting Eric Paul. Record companies will also probably be looking at it, too. Without this video, it will be much harder for all these interested parties to visualize what I do and who I am as an artist. It is a key part of my overall EPK.
The next thing I need is to finish recording 4 more songs to complete my first studio-recorded album as 'Eric Paul.' I have already financed and recorded 8 of the 12 songs for this album, but I just need those final 4 so I can get the album done. Once done, I can use this album to spread my name and sound to the world. Some of the songs will be featured in my EPK, too. But the album will be available at all shows and online. It's essential that I finish those as soon as I can.
The final things that I need are to replicate my EP, (Extended Play - basically a disc that has 3-5 songs that I sell at shows and online), and print my T-Shirts. I have been working with the most uniquely talented graphic designer for the designs of my first EP and T-Shirts. Through the hard work and genius ideas of this designer, I now have my EP art ready for replication as well as the two designs for my T-Shirts to be printed. Those are in place and ready to go, all I need is the financial resources to push them through.
All of these functions/tasks are imperative to my successful launch. I'm so excited!
I've been finding some part-time work in the meantime, rehearsing as much as I can with my band, and rehearsing on my own with my guitar and vocals. I'm working at it all. I've been applying to more part-time jobs in hopes of landing something to continue helping me with my bills.
I've been struggling lately, though, and that's why I'm asking for your support in donating to the final push of my successful launch.
There are gifts that I am offering for certain pledge brackets, too.
If I don't reach my goal, all of the pledges that my friends, family, and fans have made will not be accepted, and I'm back to scraping for loose change.
I would love for you to join my team, to be a part of my crew, to become a part of my rise to the top of the industry.

I sincerely appreciate all of your continued love and support. Without you, I would not be able to do what I do. I promise to give back to you for the rest of my career. I love music, and I love writing and performing my music. This is my calling. This is where I'm supposed to be. Help me with one final push to make my dream come true. Be a part of my rise, and I will return the favor.
Thank you so much, and God Bless.
