Hello, everyone! My name is Austin, and I’m a passionate country artist with roots in the vibrant country music scene. After years of performing and honing my craft, I’m thrilled to be stepping into my next chapter—creating my very first solo album. This project is more than just music; it’s a chance to share stories, melodies, and moments that resonate with people who love country music as much as I do. Your support will help me bring these songs to life and share them with a broader audience. If you’d like to come along on this journey, your contribution means the world!

What We Need

To make this album a reality, I’m aiming to raise $100,000 which will cover everything from studio time to production costs, hiring talented musicians, and ensuring a top-notch final product. This amount will also help cover the hidden costs of producing an album such as marketing, album artwork, music videos, photoshoots, publicist fees, etc. Here is a full breakdown of what this album is estimated to cost:

Track Production — Recording for 15 tracks @ $3,000 per track = $45,000

Track Production — Mixing for 15 tracks @  $1,000 per track = $15,000

Track Production — Mastering 15 tracks @ $200 per track = $3000

Publicist Monthly Retainer for 6 months = $36,000

Artwork for 15 tracks @ $250 per track = $3,750

Music Videos for 10 tracks @ $7,500 per video = $75,000

Legal/Administrative fees for 15 tracks = $2,500

Social Media — Ads for 15 tracks @ $500 per track = $7,500

Marketing for 6 months = $3,000

Album/Press Material Photoshoots = $9500

Total Album costs = $200,250

As you can see, the costs add up quickly! We’re hoping this campaign can help us cover as much of the costs as possible.

What You Get

As a token of my appreciation, I’ve put together some unique perks that I think you’ll love! From exclusive behind-the-scenes content to early album access, signed merchandise, and even a private 1-on-1 show—there’s something for everyone who wants to be part of this experience. These perks are a way for me to give back to those who are helping make this album possible. All of these perks are exclusive to this IndieGoGo campaign. You will not be able to get them any other time!

Every dollar helps. If we don’t hit the full funding goal, I’ll still use all raised funds to cover as much of the project as possible and keep you updated every step of the way.

The Impact You Can Have On My Dream

This album is a dream come true, and it’s something I’m pouring my heart and soul into. By contributing, you’re not only supporting me but also investing in new music that brings heartfelt, honest stories to listeners everywhere. I believe that music has the power to bring us together, and I’m excited to create something we can all enjoy. Lets make Happy Husband Country the new standard.

While this is my first solo album, my 16 years in the music industry have prepared me well for this journey. I’m determined to make this project one that my contributors are proud to be part of.
