David (SUI) crowdfunding campaign: 3rd anniversary oneman live in France!

Five days ago, DAVID launched his first crowdfunding campaign, to help him, and his musicians, get to France to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of his solo project! His first live was in Paris, as the opening act of Versailles' 2017 European Tour final in Paris, so no wonder the place is special to him.


Here is his translated message:

Introduction

"My name is SUI, and I am a vocalist.

After being in various visual bands (like Metis Gretel and Megaromania just to name a few) I have started a project as a solo vocalist in January 2017: David.

While David is currently suspended in terms of live shows, there will be a milestone on January 24, 2020: the 3rd anniversary as David. There will be a one-man live show with a new concept for this milestone at Takadanobaba AREA in Japan, and after this live I will be publishing the full picture for the future of my solo activities.

There is however one dream that I want to fulfill before this milestone:

I want to go to France, the starting point of David, for my 3rd anniversary! David, as a solo project, has basically been managed by me, SUI, alone. There have been a lot of things that I have had to deal with, but at the same time it has been very fulfilling.

During the two years so far as a solo artist I have released two mini-albums and I have done various live shows, the first one being an unforgettable secret live show in France (the first distribution in Europe started at the same time), and the latest one being a very successful one-man live at July 7, 2019 at TSUTAYA O-WEST.

With my current live activities being suspended, I feared that they would remain so until after the milestone on January 24, but then I suddenly thought of something: “I want to do a live show in France, where the origin of David lies, next year to celebrate my 3rd anniversary!”

As I have mentioned already, David is largely managed by me alone. So when I started thinking about this idea the problem of costs came up before anything else. If I were to go to France by myself it wouldn’t be a problem, but I want to guarantee the best possible live experience I can. The very first “secret” live in France was done with a orchestral backing track, but this time I want to take my live support members with me to ensure this 3rd anniversary live will be the best live David can possibly deliver.

Unfortunately it takes a lot of money to take David’s entire team to France. I’ve made various calculations and came up with a number, but it’s very unlikely that I can afford all these expenses by myself. So I have decided to start a crowdfunding campaign to ask you for your help.

Please help David overcome this challenge!

Details of the campaign funds

All donations will be used for:

– Support members and staff costs

– Travel expenses for SUI and the entire team

– Accommodation for SUI and the entire team

– Team instruments and transportation expenses

– Local acoustic costs

– Visa acquisition costs

Additionally, if we can raise more money than the desired amount these funds will go into adding more live shows in different countries in Europe during this time!

Finally At this point in time I really do think it’s worth it to continue as a solo artist. Being able to potentially do an overseas live really worked as a motivator for me to continue. I want to gain more experience as an artist and improve myself for when I return to my activities here in Japan."
