About Me

What is The 888 Project?:

The time has come for my new cd, The Not Exactly Belonging , to see the light of day. The state of the music business being what it is today, I'm continuing on the Indie Artist Path and wish to release the new record independently. But, with the help of donations from fans, family and friends I hope to be able to finish the record, release it, promote it and tour in support of it. Along the way, I hope to have a fulfilling, creative and fun experience that I'll be able to share with those wonderful people that have come aboard as part of my "record label".

The 888 Project also stands in part for August 8, 2008 (8/8/08). That is the date that we hope to finish the Donations part of this endeavor. It is also the tentative date of release for at least the first single off of The Not Exactly Belonging.
