Sneak Peek!! Lady Gaga!!

My wonderful patrons,

I'm sorry this is so late and has no subtitles.  I'm still working on getting it just right.  But I wanted to give you all the chance to see it the night/morning before it comes out with Lady Gaga's album.  I got SO MANY requests for Gaga, and I'm thrilled she's making music again.  And translating her lyrics totally seems like something she would do just to mess with everyone :P

You'll see a final version of this video ...

Exclusive Content: $5 patrons

Hello my wonderful $5 patrons!!

Since I was traveling a bit last month I got behind on my rewards so you all will get TWO exclusive pieces of content this month!!  Wohoo!!

Here's the first.  Dotan Negrin, also known as Piano Around the World plays piano on the street in SOHO New York City, and he also takes his instruments to various amazing locations to improvise.  I told him to do a little song for my patrons!  Here he's jamming on Pure Imagination in honor ...

New GTS video! Reflection!

Hello my wonderful patrons!!

Don't worry I'm not going insane, I know I just released a video on Friday.  I'm working on moving my release schedule to every Tuesday with a Monday release to patrons.  I couldn't do that last week because of travel, so I'm now back on track.  As a reminder so that you don' get overcharged now that I'm back in the game, cap your pledge if you need to!  

And with that, HERE'S REFLECTION FROM MULAN!!  I really didn't mess with this to...

Sneak Peek: Live Cover!!

Hello my amazing patrons!

I met Dotan at VidCon and found out he plays regularly in SoHo in New York City.  And we both love Amy Winehouse.  So we made a little jam for the people :D

Hope you enjoy!!  It was definitely an experiment recording live audio for the first time.  But we had a blast singing for anyone who walked by!

Thank you to every single one of you for your continued amazingness.  I can't do this without you.  I am so grateful to have you...

#HAMILTRANSLATE Sneak Peek!

Hello my amazing and wonderful Patrons!!

I'M FINALLY BACK with a highly highly requested translation from Hamilton, one of my favorite songs from the show, You'll Be Back (rather ironic lol).  This was super fun to film because it was just purely acting for me.  No crazy filming tricks, just stand, sing and tell the story (whatever that became with this translation xD).  I love going back to my theater roots every once in a while!

I hope you all enjoyed this video.  I...

Greetings from Kenya!!

Hello my dearest patrons, Enjoy this photo of my dad and I on the Maasai Mara in Kenya. :). Clearly I'm contemplating life real hard xD. I've noticed quite a few new pledges this month!! Welcome my friends and thank you immensely!! I am so very sorry I have not delivered at all this month. The main reason is actually that my beloved computer has died. I'll have a substitute next week until I can afford one of the new Macs coming out shortly, so there will be videos on the way!! I've got c...

Exclusive Video for July!!

Hello my amazing $5+ patrons!

I filmed this back in May at school and I am THRILLED to share it with you.  These are my wonderful cast mates from an original show called How the Lighthouse Became an Island, my senior thesis show.  My dear friends Hannah Tobias and Belle Shea wrote it, and joining me here are Hannah, Anisa and Matt.  

Hope you enjoy!!  And thank you all for your amazing support.  I could never do it without you <3

BEATLES GTS!!

Hello wonderful Patrons!!

Here the Beatles GTS (which I had finished yesterday hehe pun and my computer decided to upload it at 1% per 15 minutes...).  Shout out to any Jewish patrons out there.  Apparently Google Translate wanted to pay tribute to you! :D

Once again, THANK YOU for ...

Exclusive Video: June 2016

Hello +$5 patrons!

This is your exclusive video, and it is a very rambly me talking about some very important things I learned from VidCon.  I ask some questions in the video about where you see the channel going and I'd LOVE your feedback!  I look forward to having a conversation in the Patreon comments section.

More videos next month!  Thank you all for your incredible continued support.  MUCH LOVE!!

Hello wonderful patrons!!

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!  I had so much fun with this one.  SUCH a blast.  And SOOOO many people requested it.  So hopefully I did it justice for you!

If you want to contribute to my next community translation (a huge Beatles medley) send it to me on PATREON so I can be sure to see it and use it :D

You all are the best.  Thank you for being so supportive and wonderful. $5 patrons, expect some live video of me singing somewhe...

Pokemon...

My sweet beautiful patrons, Due to the fact that I am LITERALLY in the wilderness of Utah with extremely limited internet I have been trying to upload my video for you all to see early and oh my word it does not like me. I'm thinking one upload may be all it can take, so I probably won't be able to show you the video a day early, which is THE WORST! I'm still going to try though and will email in the morning if I get it to work :). In the meantime here's a picture! There are onesies and nerd...

NEW VIDEO: The Sound Of Music GTS!!

Hello my wonderful patrons.  

So these past two weeks have been INSANE!!  I graduated college, came crashing home, in the process of making three videos before my grandmother visits and then I leave for Utah, Arizona and LA for two weeks.  So I'm tired, but VERY excited about these new ones.

I was also lucky enough to shoot this at the Desert Rose Ranch and Winery in Hume, VA with some of the most soul-fillingly beautiful scenery.  Not to mention the friendly ...

Exclusive Video for $5+ Patrons!!

Hello you amazing humans.  Here is your monthly exclusive video!

I graduated with honors from Vassar College two days ago, and this little video was taken super late at night during a jam session with some friends.  I love this song so much, and it felt appropriate to sing in that moment.  

You all bring many Happy Days to my life, and I hope to bring many to yours as well.  I hope you had a restful Memorial Day and a lovely start to your summer.

All...

NEW VIDEO!!

Here's the official post, all edited and crazy looking now!!  Normally I won't send my patrons two emails in a week, but since I was showing you the rough cut the day before I figured I'd send you the final, too.  Normally I'll aim for having the final done already and only post once.

I hope you all enjoy it!!  And thank you thank you thank you for your amazingness.  SO MUCH more to come.  Now that school is done, YouTube is my focus, and it is so energizing.  ...

Sneak Peek!!

Hey my lovely patrons!! So you all get to actually see my process this time. This is just a rough cut! So no original subtitles or effects, and I may even add more b-roll in later, so the video will look very different tomorrow. But this is the kind of base I start with for all of my music videos. Hopefully you'll enjoy comparing it with the final product, which I'll send to you tomorrow when it goes public! Can't wait for you to see it :D Thank you for your incredible support. I love yo...

SUPER important Patreon News!!

Hi my beautiful patrons, (if you prefer more detailed info in video form then watch above!)

I’m eager to share an important change I’m making in my Patreon campaign.

Up until now I’ve capped myself at two Patreon music videos per month depending on which ones had the “largest production value.”  But I have realized that production value is super relative and in the end ALL of my music videos incur expenses.  So in order to honor my work and to make good on...

NEW VIDEO: BURN from HAMILTON

Hello my amazing beautiful Patrons!!

I DEEPLY apologize to my $5+ patrons for not getting this to you early.  That won't happen again, my bad.  But here it is now!!  I adore Hamilton and all that it has brought to the world, so I had to sit down with my guitar and record one of my favorite songs from the show!

And yes, I will probably do a translate of the show one day.......probably.....

Expect an exclusive video and post from me today or tomorrow with s...

Patreon Video!!

Hello my beautiful patrons!!

My video schedule was going to include two MAJOR music videos this month, both of which got pushed back because of my senior thesis in college.  Rainbow Connection was a bigger production than I anticipated because I want to pay all musicians, cameramen and producers involved.  So I'm retroactively making that video my one Patreon video this month so I can properly cover all of my expenses and have a source of income this month.

So that mean...

NEW VIDEO! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER!!

SNEAK PEEK!! For the First Time in Forever GTS!

Hi $5+ patrons!!

This is an uncolored version of my video tomorrow, so it will look a little different and the outro will be done when it comes out publicly.  But at least you can see EVYNNE HOLLENS be AMAZING!!!

So happy to feature her on this channel.  She's pretty gorgeous.  And make sure you check out her version when it comes out.

Enjoy!

Quite a Week: Update

Well my incredible patrons, this has been quite a week. I began visiting the incredible people behind THIS very site, Patreon, in San Francisco. Let me tell you--saying those people are passionate about all of us is a almost an insult, because it's stronger than that. These people are not only working tirelessly to grow the site in amazing ways, but they were so open and genuinely curious with me as to how they can make our experience better. And the fact that they all have jam sessions afte...

You're going to get some exclusive behind the scenes photos from me this week so get ready!!! xxMKR

NEW VIDEO Sneak Peek!

Hello $5+ patrons!!

Yep, it's a cover this week!!  In honor of St. Patrick's Day I wanted to do a cover that reflects the cultures that I've grown up in.  Jamie and Conor and I have played together for over 7 years and enjoyed every second, so it was a joy to finally make a video with them.

Will share publicly tomorrow.  Enjoy!

YOU GUYS!!

After the success of Hello we've hit 200K subscribers.  I genuinely didn't anticipate that and I'm totally freaking out and so excited!!!!  And I have to say, you all are the reason that has happened.  I wouldn't be able to make the kind of videos I make if not for you.  Because of you I get to work my butt off to deliver better and better content every single day, and there's nothing in the world I'd rather be doing.  So THANK YOU!!!!  I give all o...
