Christopher Sunami, from Columbus, Ohio, works full-time as a programmer to support his kids and pay off his mortgage, but music has always been his passion. He also devotes some free time to organizing an annual arts event and maintains a blog, The Pop Culture Philosopher.
At this stage of my life, it’s important to me to pursue my dreams, but at the same time, I can’t afford to quit my job – or to spend a lot of money. Still, I wanted to live out my dream of being a music producer, so I did some online research on where I could get them done for less money. Fiverr had some really good producers working at an absolute minimum price.
I read the sellers’ reviews and also listened to or looked at samples of their work. I was more interested in the people who seemed a little creative and a little offbeat. At $5, I was willing to go out on a limb a few times, and I never ran into a seller who didn’t deliver.
There is no way I could have produced anything without Fiverr. I couldn’t have located the collaborators, much less afforded to hire them. And even though there are people out there willing to volunteer or discount their time, I didn’t have the available time to seek them out and get them together. Fiverr makes everything fast and easy. It allows me to work organically. I don’t need a well-defined plan. Having all the available Gigs to pick and choose from really makes that possible.
The purchases I’ve made from Fiverr include the video for Coy Dog Waltz from Fiverr sellerThevoid and the video for Drunken Drive from Thebeefsolver.
Then I had remixes of Drunken Drive created, including Drunken Drive EDM Remix by Caruano95 (video by Trustudios), and Drunken Drive House Remix by Bertsbeats (video by Trustudios). For the video Don’t Shoot, I worked with Siditious (remix), Thebeefsolver (video), Ateljestudio (album art) and Taktikal, Cash550 and Mattoc59 (vocals).
I’ve also used Fiverr to purchase design Gigs for the Columbus Invitational Arts Competition. Fiverr has allowed our small non-profit with no budget to speak of get some high-quality work done at a very reasonable price.
