The summer of 2020 was a crucible, a time of raw emotion and a desperate cry for change. At the heart of it all was the tragic death of George Floyd, a moment that ignited a global movement. Amidst the protests and calls for justice, a powerful song emerged: “8:46” by Hannah Eggen, a haunting and visceral response to the unfathomable.
The title itself is a stark reminder, a direct reference to the agonizing eight minutes and forty-six seconds that Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck. This time, etched into the collective consciousness, became a symbol of systemic racism and police brutality.
Hannah Eggen, a singer-songwriter from Bermuda, lent her voice to this raw pain, crafting a song that resonated with millions. But she didn’t do it alone. The song’s production and co-writing were helmed by the legendary Wyclef Jean, whose musical prowess and social consciousness brought a depth and weight to the track.
“8:46” isn’t just a song; it’s a testament. It’s a sonic representation of the grief, anger, and frustration that gripped the world. Eggen’s vocals, filled with emotion, convey the sheer weight of the moment. The lyrics don’t shy away from the harsh realities of racial injustice, confronting the listener with the brutal truth of what happened.
“8:46” stands as a powerful artifact of a pivotal moment in history. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial justice and the enduring power of music to amplify voices and spark change. It’s a song that forces us to confront uncomfortable truths, to reflect on our society, and to demand a better future.
The song’s production, courtesy of Wyclef Jean, is equally impactful. It creates a somber and reflective atmosphere, allowing the message to take center stage. The simplicity of the arrangement amplifies the emotional power of Eggen’s voice, making the song a poignant and unforgettable experience.
Welcome to my Kickstarter campaign. I’m so glad you’re here to join me in the making of my 7th full length studio album, This Love.
The writing and recording of This Love has led me to a deeper engagement with myself and with my singer/songwriter roots: Through this process has come a full, fresh immersion in the authentic feel of the music – both for me playing the songs, and for you, my listeners and friends.
You’ll hear lyric driven melodies backed by raw acoustic guitar and sparse but focused studio instrumentation and sound.
This album is an intimate meditation on life, destiny, loss, forgiveness, renewal. Above all, it’s a celebration of love.
The release of This Love will also mark the 20 year anniversary of my 1999 debut album. And the sound of this new album is reminiscent of that first album in the acoustic nature of the songs. So, it truly is a reflection on all the years gone by: of living, of loving becoming a father and a husband traveling the world meeting the most amazing people everywhere that the music has taken me, making friends and playing with great musicians
There have been a few sad goodbyes along the way but essentially it has been a journey of adventure and gratitude.
At the heart of it, I’m still A Guy With a Guitar and I am still here singing these songs for you. I am so grateful to be able to share this inspiration with you.
I am pleased to invite you all to be an integral part of the making of This Love.

Thank you for all the support and love over the years. I give you This Love in heartfelt return.
Risks and challenges
Over the past few years we have learned much about the challenges associated with crowdfunding campaigns and how unexpected bumps in the road can lead to poor supporter experiences.
With This Love, the risk reduction strategy started with the demo process. This time I have really slowed the music marination down, not rushed, not settled for ‘good enough’. Musically, I gave myself the time to thoroughly test a few different approaches to the writing process. Songs you believe in is half the battle in this game.
With the benefit of a solid local team and Garage Band, our demo and pre-production costs have also been close to zero, which helps a lot. We are recording at home here on Maui and mixing and mastering in Australia with the best in the business so I’m 100% confident the product will be quality. We have been far more proactive with our rewards fulfilment strategy and have resisted offering items that we will later come to regret.
We have also taken time to build the right partner network. My biggest partners in promotion, live performance, streaming are signed onto be part of the project team and will ensure we get our message in front of more than just my followers.
Of course, the main risk is that we just don’t make it.
But we’ve done it before and we’re doing it again.

Hybrid is Collie Buddz’s third full length album. The album is fully produced by Buddz and features two tracks with Russ, as well as tracks with Tech N9ne, B Young, Stonebwoy, Dizzy Wright, and Johnny Cosmic. The first five songs on the album have been released and highly praised as singles. The FADER called “Love & Reggae” a “quintessential reggae jam,” and Billboard praised “Bank” feat. Russ & B Young, claiming “Buddz effortlessly [flowed] on the self-produced melody.” Meanwhile, “Bounce It” featuring Ghanian Grammy nominee Stonebwoy has gotten radio play around the world including on Sirius XM Pitbull’s Globalization channel, and Buddz’s latest single “Show Love” has quickly earned radio play on Sirius XM The Joint and was added to Spotify’s elite New Music Friday playlist.
