Chris Oledude

You are a special friend!  So, welcome to my most recent Oledude World creation -- ONLY OLEDUDE!  As the Founder of <a href="https://www.artivistus.com">ARTivistUS</a>, I believe that art has the power to change the world. I grew up with pop, rock, and funk, embracing the sounds of the Jackson 5, The Beatles, and so many more. Now, my artistry and I are starting a new chapter with an “old school” mix of blues, gospel, R&amp;B, rock, Broadway, and pointed lyrics. Here is where you will hear great things from me, my friends and family, and special guests as we share music and tackle many issues -- and many personalities.  You like tidbits?  You'll get them here!  And we hope you will get funky with us!

Free

You are someone who believes in new, quality music and new artists. Without you, the music world is dead! You understand that creativity requires support ... and $24 each year can go a long way!  You are helping me to keep my music affordable for those who wish to purchase it. You are helping to support songwriters and musicians with whom I work. And you are helping me to build ARTivistUS and help non-profit organizations doing important work in our communities. As a LOCAL HERO, you will have access to livestreams of my performances and downloadable songs!

Local Hero

Wow! You are incredible! $60 per year helps cover recording and social media costs. Well, whatever you receive as a LOCAL HERO, I'll top that! I am inviting you now to my "private audiences" with subscribers and discussions with special guests and discussions about my music -- or anyone's music!!!  Furthermore, if you are a songwriter or performer and wish to do so, you will have an opportunity to share your work with me and your fellow CULTURE WARRIORS during these sessions.

Culture Warrior

You are on the cutting edge! Your gift of $120 per year pays for 1.5 hours of studio or mixing time (on average) and maybe 3 hours of video post-production time. $120 pays a musician sitting on the recordings. So, I raise your CULTURAL WARRIOR status to NEW MUSIC CRUSADER! Thank you for joining the movement to keep song ideas fresh, strong and powerful. So what can I give to you that you don't already have from me? Got it! In addition to all the benefits of the first two tiers, you and your fellow NEW MUSIC CRUSADERS are invited to a two-hour session every three months to discuss the songs I am working on and brainstorm about other song ideas. I am inspired by people and their ideas. And I am always a student!

New Music Crusader

What can I say?  You define "patronage."  Thank you!  Your belief in our music and in ARTivistUS is inspiring in so many ways.  So, let me provide you with some classy Oledude swag!  No home should be without it ... and no home should be without our music, either!  You will be my honored guest at two special concerts each year dedicated to your support of ARTivistUS as well as a complimentary ticket to the annual ARTivistUS Summit!

PATRON

You are an angel!  You clearly believe that ARTivistUS is important to the world and I humbly thank you for your faith in the arts and your faith in this effort.  Accordingly, in addition to every other benefit we have to offer, you will be my personal guest at our annual ARTivistUS Summit -- the celebratory gathering of ARTivistUS clients and supporters.
