To my dearest darling friends and supporters,
In my musical career thus far I've come across many walls that I have found my way around or simply crashed through any way I could.
I wouldn't be where I am now without your support. Back in 2007 I called on you to help me raise money for the recording of my album and was so amazed at your generousity. It's knowing that at the end of it all your ears are waiting for new music that keeps me going!
In the summer of 2008, I independently released my first album "Never Just a Dream”. Shortly after that I received a number of wonderful reviews from The Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, iTunes Canada, Now Magazine, Eye Magazine, CBC’s Mark Rheaume and many online music sites. This attracted the attention of a production company and resulted in the signing of a recording, publishing and management contract. Alas, this partnership was not right for me and we have since parted ways and I am once again totally INDEPENDENT.
I've written well over an album's worth of new songs and continue to write all the time. The past 6 months have been the most prolific of my whole life.
I'm now ready to make a demo of some of these new songs so that I can seek out a new partnership, or apply for a recording grant to make a new album!
Every sign you give me big or small that assures me I'm on the right track is the only fuel I need for the fire. If you have enjoyed my music and want to see future albums come to fruition I invite you to support now in the early stages when it means the absolute most.
By donating you're kinda saying "I dig your music" or "I want you to come tour my city" or "heck Emma-Lee you are a crazy dreamin' fool and I want you to continue being that way".
You will also get you some neato things!

Thank you so very very much,
Emma-Lee
