Hope you’re all having an awesome day and had a great weekend.
It’s been nonstop activity on our end as we try to juggle between CD manufacturing, CD launch prep, music video editing, HMMA planning, promotions and publicity.
The great news is we’re all set for the CD Release Party, scheduled for November 9, Saturday at Toshi’s Living Room and Penthouse in Manhattan’s Flatiron district. And YOU’RE ALL INVITED!
From now until November 10, 2013, all proceeds from the sale of MiG Ayesa’s United As One and Dennis Sy’s Sama-Sama Harapin Nating Ang Bukas through this webpage (http://dsymusic.com/DSYMusic/Bohol_Campaign.html) will be donated to the WeServe Medical and Evangelistic Team for their upcoming medical and evangelization outreach to the recently devastated province of Bohol on November 16, 2013.
DSYMusic and Serendipity Hype will match every dollar received through this effort. (Up to $500)
After being given an advance copy of#StrongerThanBefore, this is what accomplished singer/songwriter/photographer Mr. Jim Paredes has to say. Thanks for the encouragement and the commendation sir! Am truly honored!
Dear Friends & Supporters of DSYMusic & #StrongerThanBefore the album!
It was just 3 days ago that we wrapped up our successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, and our heads are still reeling from the amount of support that we received.
We literally didn’t have time to stop and celebrate, as we’re now faced with an entirely new challenge, albeit a fun and fulfilling one – and that is to bring Stronger Than Before into production and eventually into your hands.
For the past couple of days we’ve been focusing on (ARE YOU READY?) (1) finalizing the artwork for the CD; (2) reviewing all the required materials and submitting them for manufacturing; (3) brainstorming the CD launch event (of which you’re all invited!); (4) looking at all the chosen pledge rewards and starting work towards fulfilling them (like framed handwritten lyrics, live song requests, video “thank you’s” etc.); and (5) planning for the Hollywood Music In Media Awards in November, of which 2 songs from the album are nominated.
Never a dull moment in the world of DSYMusic!
But in the midst of all this excitement, we do try to find time and slow down between chaotic moments and appreciate everything that is happening to us right now – and to be THANKFUL & GRATEFUL. For none of these would have been possible without YOU!
If everything goes according to plan, we’re looking at 2nd week of November for the album’s release – right before we fly off to Hollywood for the 2013 HMMAwards.
In the meantime, we’d like to share with you a live acoustic performance of the album’s carrier single “The Me I Found In You” (official music video to be released also in November) recorded at Michiko Studios during the live interview by Ted Reyes for Poptimes Magazine (you can check out the article and interview here.)
To the DSYMusic team, fans, family, supporters & collaborators (you all know who you are!)- WE DID IT!
With still 47 hours to go – we have reached and exceeded our Kickstarter goal towards the release of #StrongerThanBefore the album.
The journey and the challenge continues – to bring you what I’d like to believe is my best album yet.
No words can fully describe the immense gratitude I feel right now. Thanks to all of you who continue to support and believe in my music…my art. None of this is possible without you.
