We need the support of Steemit to help fully achieve our dream. Below is an outline and reasoning for why.
We need the help of Steemers to Register & Copyright SteemIt's first major Recording Label. In order for us to do this we need to raise over $900.
That's $387 to register our business name here in Australia and $500 to Trademark the name Thirsty Records™ both here in Australia and in the United States.
Any extra funds we may receive during this Steemit campaign will go towards other business registration fees, copyrighting, studio equipment, upcoming music productions, etc.
We have included a list of goals we wish to achieve that we've prioritized below.
Crowdfunding Target Goals
This list shows the goals we'll be able to achieve and the amount of funding we'd have to receive to achieve that goal as well:
- $400 - Register Business name with ASIC ($387)
- $900 - Trademark Business name for promotional use in the United States and Australia ($500)
- $1300 - Register Thirsty Records as a Company ($387)
- $1500 - 4 Individually designed Copyrighted Brand Logos including a Steemit x Thirsty Logo ($50 ea)
- $2000 - 10 Copyrighted and Exclusive tracks produced by Thirsty Records for 10 lucky Artists ($50 ea)
- $2900 - Akai Mpk61 midi Keyboard ($400+)
- $5500 - Behringer x-32 Digital PA Mixer ($2600)
- $7000 - Canon 7D, green screen, and lighting for Professional Music Videos ($1500+)
- $15,000 - One lucky artist will receive a full album package (12 Tracks, 10 Videos, & 10,000 hard vinyl copies distributed on Steemit, along with flights and accommodation to any Country of their choice to film in)
If we manage to break these targets and raise over $15,000 anything extra will be invested towards a new state-of-the-art studio space equipped with High Quality Instruments and On-Call Session Musicians.
Our Plan for Thirsty Records
Our main goal is to create a Record Label for SteemIt Artists to showcase their music, including a way for them to fully produce their music and any other media along with it. We wish to give Steem Musicians a chance to succeed on the future platform. Our studio will also be available for other multimedia purposes as well.
Myself and cofounder are very excited as we think we've created a fool-proof platform for aspiring Artists. In saying that we are only looking for the best of the best worth showcasing here on Steemit. As we are Artists also we expect the same high quality standard from ourselves. This doesn't mean that you have to fit a particular criteria with your music nor appeal to a certain demographic but it does mean we want only Artists with good work ethic and something original to offer. We will be working towards signing established artists in the future also.
We would like your opinions on our products and services for the future and as such myself and co-founder will be hosting a livestream Steemit event at a later date.
We are an Independent Record Label and will remain as such without any share capital structures. Profits gained by Thirsty Records itself will be placed back into the Steemit community and shared through curation rewards. We have already made a Thirsty Records Steemit profile but it is currently on a waiting list for approval. Once the Thirsty Records account has been added to Steemit we will be showcasing lots of content exclusive to Steemit. Any Artists or Producers that wish to join thirsty Records may do so by emailing us here: thirstyrecords2016@gmail.com
Thirsty Records is exclusive to Steemit and the Steem Blockchain. It will forever remain as such. You wont find us anywhere else!
(except on our own website - coming soon)
