SUPPORT ODL MUSIC
HELP DEE FINANCE FUTURE PROJECTS
AND KEEP THE MUSIC ALIVE!
You are likely on this website because you’ve heard my music on contemporary jazz radio or at a live concert - and hopefully you’re a fan of my recordings. But did you know…I am also an entrepreneur/business owner of Dee Lucas Enterprises since 2016. Prior to this, I solely owned small independent labels Mo Better Recordings (2003) and Smooth Soul Music Group (2014). Both companies cataloged my previous contemporary jazz recordings as follows:
* Remembrance (2004-Mo Better Recordings)
* Something to Ride 2 (2007-Mo Better Recordings)
* Standing Room Only (2010-Mo Better Recordings)
* Rebirth of the Smooth (2012-Mo Better Recordings)
* The Smooth Factor (2014-Smooth Soul Music Grp.)
* Going Deeper (2016-Smooth Soul Music Grp.)
As all small companies evolve, we’ve formed a new label called ODL Music to continue the journey in the arts and music industry. In a short period of time, ODL Music has been successful with the following releases:
The Sweet Spot - EP Collection Volume 1 (2017-ODL Music)
Going Left (2018-ODL Music)
The Time Is Now (2020-ODL Music)
No Boundaries (2023-ODL Music)
Twenty (2024-Music)
We are looking to further own and catalog future recordings as well as re-assign and manage our existing catalog from Mo Better Recordings and Smooth Soul Music Group. Moving ahead, ODL Music will perform the following responsibilities:
1). Performance Bookings - Securing performance dates
2). Production - Produce musical recordings for music lovers
3). Publishing - Offer licensing deals for music placements; Administer rights to ownership for royalty collections
4). Promotions - Promote artist for events and connect artist to fans to increase brand value
We need your help, however, to fund and strengthen the foundation of the company to provide the necessary working capital for high-level product placements and strategic artist branding. The reason for this fundraising campaign is to position ODL Music as a label that produces and delivers quality music to you, the fans. But, it also allows you to get involved in the musical process and receive some awesome perks.
This is an ongoing campaign! With your funding assistance, the areas of project needs are:
1). Studio Fees (Various Facilities)
2). Musician Fees (Various Personnel)
3). Mixing/Mastering/Manufacturing Expenses
4). Artwork Designs (Various)
5). Licensing & Copyright Fees
6). Radio Promotion Cost & Radio Single Fees (Gorov Music Marketing & Smoothjazz.com)
7). Marketing Fees
8). Publicist
9). Print Media
10). Tour Support & Promotional Appearances
11). Inventory Replenishing of Previous Recordings
12). Photo Shoots
Reaching our goal will not only allow us to bring you continuous music, but it will allow the company to stay independent and maintain ownership of master recordings which has unlimited potential value.
It is no secret that the keys to success in today's NEW ever-changing music market are consistencies in releasing quality music and maintaining a strong fan base. Currently, we have a solid but ever-growing presence on multiple social media platforms.
I am very excited about the future of ODL Music! If you can help us fulfill our business objectives, as well as my goal and my personal dream as a performing artist, I promise to deliver to you and my fans some amazing music. No contribution is too small! You can donate as often as you can.
