The Man I Thought I’d Never Be is Anthony Quails’ second partnership with Renew the Arts. After exploring his ideas through myths and fables on his sophomore record, Before the Bright Lights, Quails turned inward. He took a break from performing to focus on his family and his role as a father. In his return to songwriting, Quails pivoted to autobiography, chronicling five moments from this three-year period that have shaped him as a person and an artist.
Renew the Arts helped Anthony Quails realize his vision for this EP free of charge and free of strings by:
- providing in-depth artistic feedback and critique
- providing session musicians
- mixing the record at Clubmen Studios
- creating album art in-house
- providing publicity materials and strategies
- sending the record for review to blogs with which we have developed relationships over the years
- recommending the record to our fan base
- paying for advertisement with various independent music platforms
Estimated monetary value of sponsorship: $3,600
