Artist of the Month - Philippa Hanna
Philippa Hanna embarks up the final few days of her debut Rocket Fuel goal as November draws to a close. The Sheffield songstress is no stranger to fan-funding after running a successful campaign with Kickstarter in 2012. Her ever-growing fanbase have been purchasing music, journals and instruments in a bid to help Philippa kick things off with a bang in the new year.
With a 31-date UK support tour looming in January 2015, Philippa is looking to fans to help her cover the costs of taking a small team on the road for nearly 2 months. Touring can be expensive business for support acts with few guarantees are far as income is concerned so it's hardly surprising that fans are rallying behind her . Building on the success of touring with Lionel Richie, Wet Wet Wet and Rebecca Ferguson, Philippa continues to offer hope to other unsigned artists that big opportunities aren't just within the reaches of artists with major labels pulling the strings.
Interestingly, it's not just the music that is grabbing the attention of fans on her Rocket Fuel mission. Handmade journals have literally flown out as well as an opportunity for fans to 'sponsor' a leg of her tour.
