Rockstar Sailor!
This story is about the Rockstar Sailor, Cole Childers, who has devoted 11 years of his life to the United States Navy while also writing music for his fellow troops, friends and family. After a six month deployment in 2005 he decided to take his love for music and see where it can take him. I have been a personal fan of his music for about 5 years now. Cole is working on a solo project and has really made waves in VA. I wanted to be able to share his story with the world because of how the music not only touched me but everyone that has heard it.
Below is his story that can be found on http://www.indiegogo.com/colechilders
I took it off the website verbatim because his passion for music and the military is evident in his own words. He is working on a project where he really needs the help of the public. Please see below and thank you for your time!
I really hope that we can make his dream come true !!
=============================================
"Short Summary
Hey everybody this is Cole.
As a lot of you know I've been active duty in the United States Navy for 11 years now. I'm currently stationed at Assault Craft Unit 4 in Virginia Beach Virginia. While stationed here in Virginia I was in a very successful local rock band, at the peak of our success we opened up for Creed and Motley Crue. Now I'm doing a solo project in which I'm working with producer Bryce Bordone on a new E.P. titled "Aurora".
This fundraising campaign is for the “Fall With Me” music video which was shot by Scott Hanson of Scott Hansen productions, a Virginia Beach native.
This video means a lot to me because it shows the sacrifices that military members and their families make when they leave to go overseas to selflessly defend the freedoms of others.
I can't do this project without your help!! Your contributions will allow me to finish and market my video and music worldwide!
What We Need & What You Get
So what I'm asking for today is $7000 dollars in donations in order for Scott to finished editing, pay the incredible actors, and the remainder of the money will go towards marketing the video.
As you can see on the screen to the right we have many perks that you can claim ranging from a download, all the way up to the personal show at Soul Haven Hall performed by myself and Bryce!
I understand some people just won't be able to contribute monetarily, but that doesn't mean you can't help. What I’m asking for those that can’t contribute, is to share this campaign with your friends, MAKE NOISE about it, help me get this video out there to everybody!!!!!!
Thanks so much for funding my project!"
