New Corey Balsamo record, "In The Middle Of Everything"kickstarter.com

For long, it has been my dream and promise to myself to write music and bring it to the ears of as many people as possible - so long as I never compromised the integrity of my art. Being true to myself and my music always meant the most honest songs for those who would lend an ear. I have been lucky to have done this for many years now and I am aware that not everyone gets a shot at their dream. In fact, many are shot down before they even take flight. My music has taken me down roads I couldn’t have dreamt up just a few short years ago. I have met the most important people in my life because I decided one day that I was going to put these swirling thoughts in my head onto paper and into chords, and then I was going to sing them. The facts are something I can’t deny, though. My last record came out just over 4 years ago. I have maturated and seasoned myself, racked my brain day in and out, late night after late night - trying to write the best, most honest songs that I could possibly write. It is time these songs made it past my bedroom walls. I must face the reality that this album - between hiring my engineer and my producer, renting out a studio in Brooklyn, New York, creating artwork, hiring the best players at my disposal to play on it, mixing and mastering and finally releasing - will cost me an upwards of $7,000+, as an independent artist. There are ways to do this “cheaper” - or one would say “more economical”. But the truth is, I don’t want to cut corners, undershoot, underfund, and thus undermine not what could be but what WILL be an enormous, massive important step in my career as a songwriter. It has come to my knowing that I am a bit under that budget, as I can fund a large portion of it - but not everything - at least not on my own, not right now. I am pairing up with Kickstarter to raise $2,500 in 33 days to cover the backend costs of my forthcoming record, “In The Middle Of Everything”. These songs, this album, my music, my fans and this life mean only everything to be. I wouldn’t have identify without them. So I am asking in my most hopeful heart for you to be a friend, lend an ear and a hand, and help a boy chase his dream. I love you all with everything I’ve got.
