Not just to "raise a child", as the old proverb goes, but to help an artist get their music into the world.  So... if after you've listened to my music, and feel moved to join my village -- as a fan or a sponsor -- Welcome.  Your tweets and likes may not be money in the bank, but they are the stuff that shine a light on my music -- as will your donations -- and album purchases, which will allow me to produce my first video and next album.
