Question by Gasserpe: Songwriter/musician needs financial backing of album release.?
Greetings: my name is Alex Jenkins, Fort Myers Florida (stage name “Gasserpe).
I have fifteen unreleased albums, and two hundred additional songs ready for market. I do have a contract in hand from Tate Publishing, but need a thousand dollars up front to secure the contract, and the production of one of my albums, which will lead to bigger deals, and major record labels. . However, as we all know not all musicians starting out have the funds to market their music. I am a starving musician who can hardly pay bills sometimes. I do some part time power washing during the winter, but not enough. I have my contract ready to go if someone can assist me in releasing my first albums.
Google or Yahoo “Gasserpe”, and you will find my sites, and music. This contract just came in, and I need it to take off ASAP.
Any one with ideas! Like grants, loans, producer, donations, etc. I can send a copy of the contract for you review, and any other details. I have the product, but need a boost!

No, you don’t need financial backing. If you already have recordings, you don’t need any money.
You should go to Nashville and try to sell your songs as a songwriter. get them publishedby a reputable company first. you don’t need to pay any publisher any money whatsoever, they actually pay YOU for royalties when people play your material.
