Keemosabe, a pop/rock band from Italy, have just started their Kickstarter campaign raising funds for their debut EP. They’re now living in London and plan to record the EP at famous Abbey Road Studios. And you can help them to reach that goal. I talked to the guys about their crowdfunding campaign, the upcoming EP…
It was back in February 2013 when we heard of Rue Royale the last time here on 50K MUSIC MAG. They were funding their latest album Remedies Ahead on Kickstarter that time. Now Ruth and Brookln are back on Kickstarter to collect the funds for their upcoming album. And more than 460 backers made it…
With 25 days left and 36% of the total goal already in on her Pledgemusic campaign, Jessica Lynne is bound for glory and her Tennessee recording dreams are just around the corner. When I first moved to Seattle, Jessica Lynne was the very first person I played a show with. It was at a venue…
Kate Lynne Logan on cancelling her Kickstarter and taking the ‘pre-sale’ approach on bandcamp. Kate Lynne Logan is a wonderful songwriter that I’ve been blessed to cross paths with since my move to Seattle.

Lately I’ve stumbled upon an Entrepreneur post by Alice Guilhamon about TapTape. Reasons enough for me to get in touch with co-founder Christopher Nolte to talk about why he and Jared van Fleet founded the new player in music crowdfunding focussing on hand-picked crowdfunding campaigns for artists about two years ago. 50K MUSIC: In early…

It’s been a while since I’ve talked to Sasha but due to being a bit ill and really busy over the last weeks I haven’t managed to publish it earlier (so some questions might not be as current as they should be). But there’s still time to support her debut album project on Kickstarter. Enjoy…
I talked to Jihae about the Kickstarter crowdfunding experience and her soon to be released album which she produced in collaboration with Dave Stewart … 50K MUSIC: You’ve just finished the funding for your upcoming album “Illusion of You” on Kickstarter. How do you feel now? Jihae: Relieved, happy, exhausted and over the moon.. 50K MUSIC: Please tell us something about this crowdfunding experience. What do you think were the key success factors? Jihae: It was a painful yet eye-opening experience.. An all-or-nothing platform is high pressure for the entire period of the campaign, but I guess that’s what motivates…
Last week Ian introduced and analysed Carsie Blanton’s Kickstarter campaign which finally turned out to be more than successful. Now that the dust has settled a little bit after reaching her funding goal I’ve talked to her about the project and her further plans … 50K MUSIC: You’ve just finished your Kickstarter campaign.

Carsie: Yep. 50K MUSIC: How did you find the way to crowdfunding in general and especially to Kickstarter? Carsie: I’ve supported…
I’m a fan of their music since “Guide To An Escape”. No question for me to support their current Kickstarter project. Rue Royale are raising funds for their third album. Please consider to become a backer – still 15 days left… 50K MUSIC: You’re originally hailing from Chicago. How come that you live in Nottingham (UK) now? Brookln: That’s right, I’m from Chicago. Ruth is from Staffordshire, England. She lived in the States for a few years with me but once we started touring in Europe more we decided we wanted to be nearer to that as well as nearer…
