Jordis Unga (recently on NBC’s The Voice) opened up a fundraiser for donations to help her fund her first album. Her goal was to get $33k in 33 days (for studio, mixing/producing, musicians, etc), all to make a full-length album.
She got the money in one day from over 760 backers. In fact, she got $10K OVER her goal in one day. One. Day.
So…fuck record labels. Fuck a label. People can get shit done and people WILL pay for good music. This is proof.
What they did not want you to ever find out is that your generation, the generation born between 1980-1995, actually outnumbers the Baby Boomers. They knew that if you ever turned your eye towards political reform, you could change the world. They tried to keep you sated on vapid television shows and vapid music. They cut off your education and fed you brain candy. They took away your music and gave you Top Ten pop stations. They cut off your art and replaced it with endless reality shows for you to plug into, hoping you would sit quietly by as they ran the world. We as a society are only as strong as our weakest link. Give ‘em hell, kids.
We may be young, but we are strong and we are many. WE are responsible to change the world and it’s about time we did it!
