Overview
With your help, Brynn Smith is embarking on her first professionally-recorded album with a fantastic producer and studio in Boston, MA. Brynn has been working hard on her new material and is so excited at this opportunity to bring her project to life. Brynn has already recorded one new song for you to stream for free below, called "Remember Who You Are." Your support will help Brynn get back into the studio to make the rest of our album and take this project to the next level!
THE PROJECT
Hello world! My name is Brynn, and I'm a singer-songwriter here in the beautiful city of Rexburg, Idaho.
I’ve been making music for a few years now, and I have absolutely loved every minute of it. I have learned, grown, and healed all because of songwriting. Music has shown me another outlook on life and the world around me. I have worked so hard to grow as an artist over the last year or so. I can now say that I have so many songs that I think share my story in a way that I have never done before. I also think that these songs can show other people like me gain a greater connection with the world around them in their journey to healing.
The material is ready, and the musicians are waiting -- this Plaid Dog campaign is the final step toward creating my first ever, professionally produced studio album.
WHAT YOU'RE SUPPORTING
This campaign is raising funds for my professionally recorded album with Carter Sanders in Boston, MA. Carter is a Boston-based producer and engineer with experience working with both established and up-and-coming musicians. Together, Carter and I are digging into my original material, writing arrangements, and reaching out to local musicians to bring the songs to life.
We’ve been able to cover the costs of recording and producing one song, which is ready for you to check out right here on this page. This first song is called “Remember Who You Are,” and you can check it out below!
While I’ve been able to fund the recording process for "Remember Who You Are" on my own, to create an album of songs of this quality, studio costs add up quickly. With that said, this campaign can give us a unique opportunity to collaborate and make great art together. Your donation will cover the following costs of my project:
1. Pre-Production: This is where everything starts. Bryan and I will start crafting the arrangements for each song slated for the album. We’ll hold rehearsals to fine-tune the songs and arrangements and talk through new and exciting ideas for how to approach the recording process.
2. Recording: This is when we enter the studio and start capturing the music and where the songs become what you'll hear on this album. This campaign will play a huge role in making sure we have enough time to capture great performances for every member of the band.
3. Mixing & Mastering: Each track will get mixed to create the right balance between instruments, texture and color that make up a track. As a final step, the album will be mastered from beginning to end so that the listening experience is cohesive and carefully choreographed from start to finish.

THE IMPACT
It's hard to express how much this project would change my life.
If you were to tell me three years ago that I would be in this position, I would’ve laughed. Before I got into music I was in the darkest part of my life. I was emotionally broken beyond what I thought could be repaired, I was too anxious to leave my room, and I lost a lot of the attributes that made me who I was. I was lucky enough to have family and friends who noticed this in me and slowly pushed me back to something I love– music. I started writing music and I found it to be one of the most therapeutic things I’ve ever done. It has been a way that I can say things that I have never been able to say and a method I have to connect to people.
I never imagined in a million years I would have an opportunity to share so many stories with people in my life. It would mean the world to me to be able to get these songs produced and shared with everyone. It would be one of the best things in my life.
