Funding an album in a jazz-improv kind of way
Over the years on Marketplace we’ve tried to cajole artists to talk business. It’s not easy — many are more comfortable talking about inspiration and passion than getting their hands dirty with money.
But if you want to bring a creative project to fruition, there are money choices to be made. For instance, jazz musician Lauren Kinhan decided to go online to crowdsource the money for her newly released solo album called “Circle in a Square.”
Some people might use a spreadsheet to set their fundraising goal when crowdsourcing cash. Lauren Kinhan tells Marketplace Morning Report host David Brancaccio that she did it in a more jazz-improv kind of a way.
