Join April K on her ‘second chance at music’ journey!

Hello and thank you for visiting my website! My name is April Koontz, and I’m thrilled to have you join me on my ‘second chance at music journey.’ More than anything else - I hope my quest to catch my dream inspires you to catch yours! Please don’t wait for a moment of family tragedy, like I did, to serve as the shock to wake up your spirit… do it now!

Step 1 of my journey was to launch my Kickstarter campaign to help fund my first solo album and career as a professional songwriter. I launched the campaign on my 50th birthday and was completely blown away that it was 100% funded in 3 days.

Even though the campaign has ended, you can watch my launch video here to better understand how my younger brother’s sudden death reawakened my passion for songwriting and propelled my decision to pursue my dream of writing and releasing music.

Step 2 of my journey was to release my album on August 14th, 2017 for the Kickstarter contributors and to the world on January 12, 2018! I'm now creating a Self-Discovery Journey that highlights the story behind each song, the lesson life was teaching me at the time I wrote it, and self reflection questions for you to consider on your own life journey (starting with the title track from the album). Oh, and I'm continuing to write songs for a 2nd album that I look to release in late 2018.
