Dennis Sheperd aims for very first crowdfunded Trance album

One month to go for ‘Fight Your Fears’ to reach € 8.000 goal

Berlin, 14^th January 2015 - An innovative, bold idea, and quite the challenge. German producer, DJ and label owner Dennis Sheperd likes to set himself new goals. Before February 9^th, his crowdfunding project on Pledge Music has to collect a funding of 8.000 Euro, or the release of his ‘Fight Your Fears’ album will be cancelled. With 25% of the goal reached, it’s going to be an exciting few weeks for the trance DJ. 

Best known for his ‘Fallen Angel’ & ‘Edge Of The World’ original, as well as collaborations with Markus Schulz, Rank 1, tyDi and many more, Dennis Sheperd has quickly left the rising star title behind him. In 2014, he set up his very own A Tribute To Life label, named after his successful first artist album and monthly radio show. As if running your own label isn’t demanding enough, Sheperd also set himself the goal to release the very first crowdfunded Trance album ever: his second artist album ‘Fight Your Fears’. Planning to release it on A Tribute To Life and financing it on his own, Sheperd needs help to pay the vocalists (may have been pre-financed already), designer of the artwork, mastering engineer and the actual production costs of the physical CD. 

Dennis:” A big part of that 8.000 Euro will go to PR & Marketing – you have to get your album out there. If I don’t reach that goal, I’ll cancel the album release and all funders will get their money back. However, I prefer to think positive. So many people have funded this project already, and enjoy exclusive previews and updates. That’s the main reason I wanted to do this, to get my fans involved and to be able to offer them exclusive stuff, such as a studio session, tour around Berlin and booklet mention. I need the support of people to realize that dream.”
