My goal is to build an audience of paid subscribers to help support my musical endeavors. These projects always involve musicians, engineers, studios and other musical collaborators. From time to time they will also include filmmakers, editors and producers as visuals are an important part of music marketing and help to get the word out.

I am not asking for paid subscribers to pay me. I will not profit from my page on Substack. All the money will be used to pay the various artists and collaborators I mentioned above. As you know, the music industry and specifically the record industry is not the same as it was when I entered this business. Today every artist needs to be their own record label & promoter. My hope is to raise enough money so that my collaborators can be paid fairly and I can make this a sustainable endeavor.

Thank you for considering to support and join me and my fellow artists - with gratitude, Joel.
