Good Luck w/your music. I had dreams that were never accomplished. "Top Ramen"...I hope it's a joke! It's not really healthy eating instant ramen (believe me)...stay healthy to continue your goal w/o instand foods...it might be cheaper but not for your music career.

Music is practically free today, she's asking for money to help just to make music? This makes no sense.

Making the album by your own means is like a musical right-of-passage, like finishing a marathon. Does anyone hustle anymore. This seems more like an insurance policy or a way to cheat the process. "No one likes my album, glad I didn't pay for it". Get used to noodles kid.
