Greetings, lovely human.

Welcome to ORLA'S SECRET DEMO CLUB. What the heck is that, you ask. Fair question. Let's dive in.

ORLA'S SECRET WAHAAAHTT?

For the last couple years I've been writing songs - I mean, LOTS of songs. It's been magical and leaves me loving music more than ever before, but it can feel like such a wasteful process - I have countless demos of songs I'm super proud of (but that aren't finished enough to fully release) and these demos used to just sit on my laptop, never seeing the light of day! GRRR. So much of the music I create is made behind closed doors.. but now I'm ready to open those doors to a few.

If you sign up to become a patron, you're part of the club. YES. Every month I'll send you a brand new home demo for you to download, written & produced by myself in my lil' bedroom studio! Signing up at any amount also means you'll get access to my patron-only feed - it's like our own little secret Facebook group where we can all chat and be our most vulnerable selves. YES! The feed is full of voice memos, blog posts, talk-y videos about all sorts, the occasional cover.. just a lot of MUSIC & THOUGHTS from my brain, really. You can support me at different tiers for all sorts of different rewards - check out the details on the right of my Patreon profile! 

My vision for this is simple - to keep creating and sharing those creations with those who really want to listen. When I (one day) release an album, I'd love for you to hear songs and say "aha! I remember this song! Orla wrote this in April of last year about that boy she told us about, what a dick he was. ooh, I hear she's changed the lyrics of verse 2 but the rest is the same!" - THAT SORT OF THING, YA KNOW?


What is Patreon? WILL IT TAKE ALL MY MONEY?!

NOPE. Patreon works off the old school concept of patronage - supporting creators you love to allow them to create more. It's essentially an online tip jar, and it's awesome.. think of it like buying me a cup of coffee once a month, knowing that COLLECTIVELY all that sweet coffee money results in me recording more, gigging more & actually getting to live as a musician full time (the dream). I put out one demo a month and you can pledge any amount of your choice, starting from $1! Do note that it'll always be once a month - you'll never be charged more than your pledged amount. 

..LET'S DO THIS.

To clarify - I'll still be releasing music & Youtube videos as normal - nothing changes there :) choosing to join the cluuuuub and support me on here is a total choice and no one should feel ANY PRESSURE to get involved! I'm beyond lucky to give music a go in the first place - I'm just on here because I bloody love making music for you and think it's OK to ask for a little help along the way. 

OK, that's it..

So much love!
Orla x
