Antifragile Pre-Order
Fundraiser
Pre-order Ollella’s upcoming album Antifragile to help recoup the costs from making it
Ollella’s sophomore record Antifragile will be out March 21st!
So exciting!! We’re thrilled with the way this record turned out and can’t wait for you to hear it. We’re running a pre-order campaign for 30 days from February 5th to March 7th to help re-coup costs from making the record.
I’m happy to say that we’ve already received very generous funding to get us off the ground, and now it’s time to fundraise the rest. Below are pre-order packages to choose from, some with rewards exclusive to this campaign. The money raised here helps me see this album to completion. It’s like Kickstarter but with less fees :)
To learn more about the breakdown of costs associated with making the album, scroll to the bottom of this page. Thank you so much for your support and for joining along in this crazy ride. Having the ability to pursue an artistic dream is a the biggest privilege, and one I do not take lightly.
42% funded!
$14,420 of $34,600 raised!

Vinyl (signed)
Uhhh... It's hard to describe how excited I was when I came up with this vinyl design. I don't know if we'll print this design again, so if we don't, you’ll own one of these limited edition super-special egg vinyls.

Companion Magazine
If you know you know! This collector’s item companion magazine includes lyrics, photos, and stories behind Antifragile – think of it as extended liner notes. It’s built to last, with high-quality printing and paper.
VIP Release Party!
(Seattle, WA)
Come hang out to celebrate with us on album release day - Friday, March 21st! We’ll meet up during the evening somewhere in Seattle and make a toast to the wild and crazy process of making and releasing an album. Ellie may or may not saber a bottle of champagne.
VIP Sage Arts Show
(Arlington, WA)
Leading up to our Album Release Show on April 26th, the full band will be rehearsing at Sage Arts Recording Studio, where we recorded the album. Sage Arts is an incredibly special space located in the woods an hour north of Seattle in Arlington, WA.
We invite you and a friend to a special show at Sage Arts sometime April 23-25 (exact date TBD). We'll do a run-through of the release show, give you a tour of the studio, and show you the behind-the-scenes of recording.
Capacity limited to 20 attendees total.
Pick your pre-order!
Below are several different pre-order packages to choose from – pick your favorite and we’ll send it over to you once the album is out. Tax and shipping are included :)
VIP levels
Contributions at this level go beyond the price of just the album. Emerging artists are often unable to completely recoup the costs of making an album by just selling merch, so higher amounts of patronage allow musicians to actually break even in the process.
We are truly grateful for any amount you are willing to contribute, VIP or Non-VIP. These VIP levels are available for those looking to support the larger Ollella vision and trajectory. If you would prefer for your contribution to be tax-deductible, Ollella has a fiscal sponsorship with the Allied Arts Foundation, a 501(c)3 based in Seattle – if this applies to you please first email Ellie at ollellamusic@gmail.com and she can help direct you.
Financials
Records are expensive to make!
This one costs $34,600.
We’re releasing this album independently, which means Ellie fronts all of the costs for producing it. Here’s the breakdown of where all that money goes.
A huuuuge thank you to those that provided very generous support to help us get started with this campaign.
Now we’re closing the gap!
