Overview

Hello world! My name is Lexie Modica and I'm a singer-songwriter here in the beautiful city of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I’ve been writing and performing music all around the Twin Cities for years now, I owe so much to the friends I’ve met here for getting me to where I am now, and I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on with everyone who has cared about me thus far!

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.

This campaign is raising funds for my professionally recorded album with Ryan Gallagher  in Boston, MA. Ryan is a seasoned Boston-based producer and engineer with experience working with both established and up-and-coming musicians. Together, Ryan  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 he

While I’ve been able to fund the recording process for "The Boots” 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.  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.

And what will you get for your generosity and support? So many awesome things!

I am so appreciative and grateful for any support you can lend to this campaign. In exchange for your generosity, I've put together a really exciting group of gifts that are available exclusively through your participation in this campaign.

Check out some examples below and a full list to the right!

It’s hard to express how much this project would change my life.

For years, these songs have been mine alone, and now that I’m ready to share them with you, I’ve been working nonstop with the creative team at Plaid Dog Recording to bring these ideas to reality. This debut album will be a huge step for me to become the artist I always dreamed I could be, and you can help me make it happen!

While I’ve never made a project this big before, I’ve been working for months to perfect my songs and ideas so that it will be the best debut album I could hope for. I will work hard until this project is completed–with the help of the Plaid Dog team–and you!
