"Hey Guys!

I wanted to let you know that I will be going into the studio to record a new E.P. this spring. As some of you may know, I have fulfilled all of my obligations to Rise Records and am now a free agent. I want to get some new music out to all of you, MY FANS, but in order to do so it's going to cost some money. As I no longer have a label budget behind me I decided to team up with the people at Indiegogo to offer you, the fans a chance to be part of this and make this EP come to life! By contributing to this campaign you will not only be helping make this record but you will also have access to all sorts of cool perks like getting early access to my new singles before anyone else to free JC concerts for life to even being on the EP!!! This is your chance to get some once in a lifetime perks myself, so don't pass up on it! stay tuned this summer for my new EP!!!!

For those wondering why it costs so much to make this EP, here is a breakdown of my expenses:

$10,000 for studio time

$4,000 for Producer Expenses

$2,500 Travel/Accommodation Expenses (Southern California/East Coast)

$2,000 for Art/Promotion/Marketing for the EP

$1500 for Indiegogo Cut for Running This Campaign

Even if you can't contribute financially, you can still help out by spreading the word and telling your friends about this opportunity!

I'm so excited to bring you all some long overdue new music and I appreciate everyone who has stuck by me through all the bullshit.

I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!"
