Looking for Patrons/sponsors for my art project

[5-D - L O V E]

Hello everyone 

So I'm gonna cut directly to the chase in this post, no running around the bush.

Last september I started my artistic journey, I have been doing music (in many forms) for more than half of my life (~16 years) and been thinking about this project seriously since 2020, last summer I poured all my fiances (around 24K) to turn this dream into reality, around 16K went into buying gear, and 8K went into paying up a year of rent for the space that has been both my living space and my studio (I live in africa so finances work out differently here).

I have been working relentlessly composing and recording almost daily, my vision is to bring to life revolutionary music (accross many dimensions), I draw from almost every genre of music and my inspirations are acts like Jacob Collier, Louis Cole, Bill Wurtz, Pat Metheny, Cynic, Frank Gambale, Nujabes, Common Saints (and many many other artists)

The main issue I'm trying to solve now is to find people that are willing to sponsor me so I could finish this work of, I made the rookie mistake of under-estimating the task at hand and I thought that it would take me less than a year to wrap things up, turns out I was wrong, I have already done the heavy lifting, but still need around 4-6 months to finish things up (re-record some demos that are not up to standards, rework a few sections and finish writing lyrics).

My dilemma is that this is my first ever project, if I was already established with some prior work and had some sort of following I would've turned to a platform like patreon to gather the money I need, but since that's not really a realistic option in the position I'm in, I'm finding myself obliged to look for "out there" solutions.

So basically I need 4000$ to secure 6 months of rent in order to finish this project of, I know it sucks to be asking strangers for money without providing anything in return, so I'm willing to give back in return with what I can which is lessons (whether it's arranging, composition, keyboard, guitar, mixing... anything) I'm pretty good at what I do and I hope you trust me on that.

You may be asking yourself why didn't I consider this issue prior and taken preventive measures to avoid putting myself into such a narrow corner, and the only answer I can provide is that I wanted to touch the sun of complete creative freedom, I wanted to pour all of myself into this without holding back. It was what every part of me desired and I don't regret it. And I can see now that I'm standing on something that is bigger than me, a manifestation of true love that I only wish to bring to life.

Hope this post doesn't get backlash, I'm coming from a place of pure intent.

Best regards to everyone, regardless of whether or not I get any response/help.
