Vivienne Indiegogo Campaign

July news – Awards, podcasts, and a boat…

We’re so close: already at 95% of our fundraising goal for Current!!

💙 Thank you so much to everyone who’s supported, shared, or sent love. This album recorded entirely on a tiny 1951 wooden sailboat in the Dutch lakes is nearly ready to launch, and it means the world that you’re part of it.

But this is just the beginning..

Why every pre-order still helps

Our goal of $5,000 covers basic production costs but the full project budget is $18,000, and I’m still waiting to hear about several grants.

The more we raise, the more we can 🎧 Pay guest musicians fairly, 🎙 Hire top-tier engineers, 📀 Press more beautiful vinyl & CDs, 📸 Film the journey with our new drone and video team and 📣 Share the album widely, from New York to the Netherlands. So, even a single pre-order helps us make more music, tell a deeper story, and reach more ears and hearts.

⛵ Just 5 Days Left to Pre-Order & Set Sail

If you haven’t yet had the chance to support the campaign, there’s still time to:

🎶 Pre-order the album (digital, CD, or vinyl)
💌 Receive a custom soundscape with voice message
⛵ Join us for a sailing session on the boat
🍽 Book a private boat dinner with Chef Ted and me
🎤 Or attend an intimate concert on the water

 

Whether you pre-order the album, join me for a sailing session, or simply share the link, every ripple helps.

👉 Pre-order & join the journey here
Let’s make something beautiful, together.

With gratitude and wind in the sails,
Vivienne

P.S. The campaign ends on July 7th… which is my birthday! 🎂

“We still have the music,” I remind myself in moments when life feels overwhelming. If you’re feeling the same, take a deep breath and let this thought bring you some peace.

ViviTalks is a podcast where I sit down with the 100 women who helped shape my album Typuhthâng. Each episode explores their stories, creative journeys, and the role of community
