Audrey Karrasch's first solo EP <3
byAudrey Karrasch
Launching my first EP post 'The Voice'. This is harder than I thought, but I'm so close. Songs are done, the tedious details begin!
BIO
My name is Audrey Karrasch.. I'm a singer/songwriter and I live in Charlotte, NC. I grew up in Reno, NV with 5 brothers and 1 sister. Music has always been in my life. I've been in bands, jazz bands, marching band, choir, girl bands, and it wasn't until I moved to NYC when I was 18 that I developed my own individual style of music. I was recently on a television show called The Voice. When I auditioned about this time last year, I didn't expect to make it as far as I did. Before I knew it I was on Usher's team winning my Battle Round, and shortly after in The Knockout's, one of the coolest/talented chicks ever, Michelle Chamuel, ripped my ass apart.. Haha!
The show was one of the coolest experiences ever. I met so many people, and I learned a lot. Not to mention, I now have an amazing platform to launch a career on. I also have a small fan base now.. which is pretty cool. Confusing, but cool.
Since getting kicked off the show I've been writing and recording as much as I can. I'm planning on releasing an EP as soon as possible, but I underestimated how many tedious details there are.... yiiiiikes!
THE PROJECT
My first solo EP. A lot more goes into releasing an EP than the songs.. luckily for me, the songs are finished, (yay, I did something right!)... But I can't release the package without the finishing touches. The business side to my music has always been a little foreign to me. Because I'm releasing my music without a label, I've taken most matters into my own hands. I'm now realizing the significance of a logo, the design, music videos, mastering, websites.. all of these things, unfortunately cost dough...
BUDGET
Mastering a single song costs approximately 100$... this puts me at about 600$ just to start with. The media and design (logo) will cost approximately 800$. I found a very talented group of people to help me with this, and I know that they'll give me exactly what I need in order to release and EP I'm so proud of.

I'll also be releasing a music video providing I make the goal of 3,000$.. I didn't realize how expensive music videos are.. (I know, my ignorance still shocks me sometimes)..
Here are some video clips from the show, as well as some other videos of me singing incase you aren't familiar with my music, or just want to hear what I've got so far..
