MIA KIM ALBUM

The Sukey Rose Project was created in June 2008 to give music fans an insider's view of what it takes to independently produce and release a successful album. At that time we had an interview with Mia, read it here. Fans had the opportunity to participate in the pre-sale fundraiser and contribute their thoughts on the making of Mia Kim's upcoming album Who Is Sukey Rose?

Produced by veteran indie rock musician and producer Jason Martin (Starflyer 59, Cold War Kids), the album is a mix of alternative pop-rock tunes exploring the identity of a fictional character named Sukey Rose. What makes this release different from Kim’s first album is her use of new media resources that are now available to unsigned independent artists.

Kim’s supporters helped raise more than $8,400 towards recording costs. “Just knowing that I had so many people rooting for me and believing in this project gave me the conviction to not give up when I hit the inevitable roadblocks that occur with any passionate artistic endeavor,” Kim says.

“I’ve been using MySpace, CDBaby and Tunecore for years as ways to connect to fans and distribute my music. The landscape is constantly changing, and now there are numerous start-up sites that are trying to provide resources and tools specifically for the unsigned musician. It’s an exciting time,”

Kim will be using all these new media tools at her disposal to release and promote her new album. “I really believe in this album, and at this moment, because of the Internet and how it’s forming the new face of the music industry, I have more of a chance than ever before to have my music reach a larger audience.”
