About to take off!


Did I ever tell you about the time that I met with a bunch of record label and producer dudes and they told me they love my music?

well they did. THEY LOVED IT!
and I was super pumped and I LOVED IT too!

Then they told me I needed to put out a single with a music video to get a bunch of peeps on board with me. and make new friends/fans/email-listers/and followers
and
once i have a following, they would sign me a record deal.
Little Lyndy from Hurricane, Ut didn't really know what 'record deal' even meant.

well, it basically means they would give me a bunch of money so I can record my album but then they own it and I have to pay them back all the money.

there's a producer in Nashville, L.A. and Las Vegas that would love to produce my stuff. These guys have gold records on their walls. They are awesome.
My project would be amazing in their hands but it would also end up costing in the tens of thousands of dollars. that makes me dizzy.
I just don't have that kind of money...
So Instead of rolling down that long and expensive road,
WE ARE DOING IT OURSELVES!

Sweet and simple right here in Southern Utah.
but I need you with me. because its kinda scary and
cuz really its all about you anyways.
I LOVE PLAYING MUSIC FOR YOU!
its the coolest thing ever.

So, the first half of my album is recorded. I have used up all my piano lesson/live show savings to do it and now the last 4 songs have been waiting patiently for me to make up my mind. Should I start promoting my little EP and go the way of they bigtime dreamers with a single song...or should I just finish my album on my own and be an independent lyndy.

Well, my minds been made. And we are about to do something cool!

Yesterday we made a silly video and a kickstarter account.
I will be putting out a partially fan FUN-ded record. [hopefully]
its going to be a humble beginning. but those are the best kinds...

we are editing the vid and should have it up tonight or tomorrow.
IM SOOO EXCITED!
I hope YOU are too!!
once the page is up we gotta spread that sucker like wild fire k. I only have 30 days to make it to the goal. oh golly I hope we get there!

Thanks everyone for your love and support in this crazy dream of mine.
I love you a lot.
Gonna fly now...

Love, Lyndy

p.s. the Lucky Lyndy design is for t-shirts, stickers, and buttons coming soon!!
