How are you? I hope this message finds you well. I know we are all so busy so I won't hold you too long.
This year, 2024, marks the 15th anniversary of the release of my first book, True Emotions of a Man: The Boy, The Man & HIs God. Not only is this title my first book and release as an artist, but it also signifies the establishment and foundation of my brand.
Over the course of the last 15 years, I have grown tremendously, evolving into a multifaceted and multitalented award-winning artist. Book publishing, songwriting & recording, and film production are just mere examples of the work I've done. I've collaborated with several artists, small businesses and entrepreneurs to not only further my own brand. but theirs too. We've sold our products domestically and internationally. Some of my clients and collaborators have experienced success in their own right including being mentioned on a nationally syndicated radio show and more.
Last month (March), I received a citation from the Mayor and City Council of my hometown, Newport, Rhode Island. I was recognized as the first 21st century award winning black author, Hip Hop artist & entrepreneur, an honor I received with high regard.
Ok, so what's your point? Haha I'm glad you asked! This year I am embarking on officially establishing my own independent music recording label. As with any startup, there are required costs and fees. As a cancer survivor with some physical limitations, finance, in some areas has been somewhat of a challenge. I've always just forged ahead because I never wanted anyone to view or treat me as "less than capable." As I continue to grow and heal, I've come to understand that I've actually made things more challenging for myself by not being vulnerable and honest enough to seek assistance if needed.
How can I help? Ahh! Another great question. :) As I plan to move forward with my record label, there are initial startup fees that I need assistance with. Upon clicking the link below (I want to contribute) you will see there are many ways to contribute and support my vision.
What do I get in return? Every contributor will be listed on my Wall of Fame. Wall of Famers will receive exclusive access to everything "Jerrell Grimes" and will be added to my email list for future updates, deals and more! The amount you contribute will be kept confidential to protect my privacy and yours. If you'd like to leave a custom POSITIVE message to be listed with your Wall of Fame entry, you will have the option to do so. If you do not want to leave a message, write "N/A" with your contribution.
Have you considered GoFundMe? While I know GoFundMe is an option, I prefer to build a close and trustworthy connection with my fans, supporters & followers. In addition, as independent artist and entrepreneur, I do not want to pay fees of any kind to another company or brand, if I can help it. My company is a registered entity in the State of Florida; therefore, I abide by state laws. I hope you'll understand. Upon processing your contribution, you will receive a confirmation email and receipt. Please note: your contribution is non-refundable and non-transferable.
Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or concerns. Thank you for taking time to read this. I appreciate your support.
With love,
Jerrell Grimes
