About me and my album:
I'm Hollywood Anderson. A singer/songwriter/actor from Orlando, FL who now lives in New York City. I'm working on my debut album titled 'Who needs love'. Crowdfunding lets me stay independent and connects me directly to my followers. The people who have been following me from the platforms to the tv screens, and to the Grammys. Being able to connect with my fans with out the usual record labels is super important to me.
My influences include Adele, Kanye West, Bootsy Collins, Jay Z, Marvin Gaye, Jason Mraz, and many more. my album will be a direct reflection of that, it will be sensual, smooth, and ruff at the same time. Through the album, I’m giving the world, the whole scope on love. The album is a vast look at the dangers of it and what it'll cause you to do. The album will be a musical revolution. The album will be a musical revolution.
Bootsy Collins, Timbaland, Ash Riser, and The HeatMakerz are producing the album. Talib Kweli and Niko Is will be appearing as well.
When I moved to NY I became homeless because the family member that offered me a place to stay, went back on their invitation. So I had two choices. Stay in NY and become something, or go back to Florida and be nothing. I decided to sacrifice comfort and become the artist that I am today. With your help I can deliver a modern masterpiece that everyone can be proud of.
I chose the Covenant House as a charity of choice so I can further develop their creative programs focused on music, film and photography. Covenant House has been a big part of my life. They have transformed my life and the lives of my close friends. They do a great job of helping youth. All the way from NY to LA to FL. Covenant House is run by a Kevin Ryan who has a heart that is not after the world, but after something that is bigger than himself. The extra money will go towards buying creative equipment for the kids to enhance their creativity.
