$10,000 to raise

My name is Ella Hue, and I am an independent artist stepping into the new year with a renewed sense of purpose and vision. As a musician and storyteller, I have always dreamed of creating immersive multimedia experiences that bring together music, dance, film, and visual art. Managing everything myself - without a manager, booker, or label - means the business side of my creative journey can be overwhelming. It is challenging to keep up with producing new work, organizing events, and, most importantly, paying my talented collaborators what they truly deserve.

Your support will go directly toward compensating the incredible team of engineers, producers, mixers, masterers, bandmates, choreographers, dancers, cinematographers, editors, graphic designers, set designers, and costume/make-up artists who help bring my artistic visions to life. I also hope to raise enough to hire a booker for live shows and local tours, and eventually a manager, so I can focus more deeply on my creative work. Your support will not only sustain my projects but also ensure that everyone involved is valued and empowered to continue collaborating.

I am deeply grateful for the love and encouragement I have received from listeners and supporters everywhere over the years. Asking for financial support is not easy, but I know that with your help, I can continue to create and share new music, stories, and visuals that inspire and connect us all. Thank you for believing in me and for being part of this journey. Your generosity will make a real difference in our entire team involved and I can’t wait to share what we create together!

There are so many urgent causes asking for support right now, and it can feel vulnerable to ask for funding for art. This project exists because storytelling, music, and collective reflection matter - especially in complicated times. If this work resonates with you, your support means everything.
