Benji Rogers founded Pledge Music to help musicians and fans share in the experience of creating albums. 6 years ago when Benji started Pledge Music, there were fan-funding platforms popping up left and right, but nothing that really focused on fan participation.
Recommended Fundraising Campaign by Columbian Alejandro Castellano (guitar & oud)
Text by Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi
Today I would like to announce my endorsement of Alejandro Castellano’s fundraiser campaign, who is a dear music colleague and friend of mine. I met him at a Bedford music club in Williamsburg in 2009 when his band INDRA opened up for a friend’s band. I loved his guitar sound and invited him to join my band SoSaLa. His guitar playing and guitar sounds are captured on four tracks of my CD SoSaLa Nu World Trash.
Please listen to “Ja-Jou-Ka” below which will tell you why his guitar sound is so special to me.

The project
Last year I spent the month of January out in the woods of Montana’s Bitterroot Valley, writing songs, practicing, and keeping a daily dream journal. For three weeks I wrote a song every day, Monday-Friday. The best of those songs have become the center-piece for this album, my first full-length release as a song-writer.
