This artist has been all over the news lately being interviewed about her successful new book: And it is with good reason! This book is followup to an incredible TED Talk last year that described her fundraising process for supporting her musical projects. She was shooting for $50,000 and ended up with $1.2 million! Her philosophy is to not "make" people pay for her music, but to "let" them support it. When given the chance, people will support artists if they just...ask. Her book speaks to the heart of the artist in more ways than financial, though. Being a local girl (from Winchester, MA) her story is told against a backdrop of familiar places and events, packed with honest tales of artistic and personal survival when faced with living the challenging life of an artist. She is a genuine character with character, and her book is a really inspiring, fun and thought-provoking read. Highly recommended!
