Monte Pittman – Pain, Love & Destiny (2011)

Hello all! My name is Monte Pittman and I'm based out of Los Angeles.

I'm an independant artist making my upcoming album (tentatively titled "Pain, Love & Destiny") on my own. Some of my friends have strongly suggested using Kickstarter as they have been successful with it themselves. Not only will this opportunity of raising money from fans, friends and family help me make this album, but it also lets whoever is giving a donation be a part of this experience.

This album features not only acoustic guitars and vocals, but drums, bass, electric guitars, keyboards (synths, piano, and strings) ... and hopefully you.

One of the Incentives is for the person donating to sing as a backing vocalist on the album. One of the songs on the album (or last of 4) features a final chorus of as many people as I can get to sing with me. The idea is kind of like "We don't need no education" from "Another Brick In The Wall" by Pink Floyd" or "Give Peace A Chance".

You record your vocals - send them to me - I add you into the track. If you're out of tune - there are ways of fixing that.

Other Incentives include a private show in your living room. Have some friends over, and we'll play for you. Also, private guitar lessons both personally and online. Private lessons have to be in the Los Angeles or Southern California area. The online lessons (Skype) will allow all of my incredible fans from all over the world to be included. If anyone has any ideas for incentives, send them my way!
