Anna:

You all know my passion to music - I do it not because I want to get famous and rich (if it happens in the process slowly and naturally, it's good, but it wasn't my goal from the beginning), but because I simply can't not do this - this is my whole life! I'm a girl from a simple family, from not a big city, but I always had a dream: to be an international musician, to have my own band and to give my music to the world. I already have most of it, also because of your help, and I'm really grateful to everything that you did for me and to all the opportunities that my life gave me, despite on all the difficulties that I had and still have now! 

Our music industry is tough, and everything became even more expensive after pandemic. For example, the cost of some festival slots for an underground band can be from 1000 to 5000€ depending on the festival for 30 min performance on the second stage in a day time.... Then imagine plus the cost of the road for all musicians, food, fuel and accommodation. To be honest, sometimes I don't know what to do and how to go through all of this - I'm a full time musician (a vocal tacher and a singer), and I don't have rich family, and I suppose to earn money from my profession, and not to spend everything that I have. Musical labels and managers nowadays mostly work like banks - if they give something to an artist, the artist has to give back even more, even if he\she doesn't earn enough money on tour or for an album or whatever this money was for. That's why you don't see many young bands or artists around, especially in metal - they start and then they see that they have to work 24/7, sacrifice everything, put all their money to music and still there's no guarantee that it will be payed off sooner or later. The only people who stay and try to continue are crazy people like me...

I know that this is an ambitious plan, and from the beginning I was doubting it and wanted to refuse, because it's really expensive. But then I thought - why not try? Why not ask my fans for help?

Please don't think that I only depend on your money and will not add anything from my side - of course I will, and I'll do my best for it! I didn't include flight costs for all my band, merch printing price (and I'll need a lot of merch!), my musicians and crew salary, visa cost, especially if we come to the UK (it's not decided yet), and some equipment cost too. 

All the perks for your contributions are written down below. The main one is a special crowdfunding CD "The Best Of Anna KiaRa" which contains re-recorded, re-arranged and remastered songs from Storyteller, and remastered songs from Archangel and Symphony Of Rage. I included the songs that you liked the most according to the statistics. The CD will have a special crowdfunding cover art, so even if I put it later after the crowdfunding to my merch store, I'll change the cover, which means that this item is really unique! Also there are posters, t-shirts and zippers with the CD cover art, and a special photoshoot as well.

My dear USA fans! Due to the new post tariffs that are crazy high we can only ship CDs for you, but not everything else, so I was thinking a lot what I can do for you, because I know that I have many listeners in the USA. So I decided to make special digital history archive files of Anna KiaRa for you - I'll include a rare videos, photos, photoshoots and materials from 2020 till the present moment there - all the history of my band!

Last, but not least: in case if something happens - the tour is cancelled, I couldn't reach Europe or anything else, all the money will go to the next album, next tours or maybe a couple of festivals, new music videos and everything that will help band to grow. All the money will go to the development of the band and I'll write emails to all the crowdfunders with photos, video and the detailed report about it, so you will be sure that your money went to the right direction!
