Wild Fire "Don't Mess With Exes" Crowdfunding Campaign
We are Kayla and Kelli Iutzwig (aka Wild Fire), a pop country sister duo out of Houston, Texas. We grew up in a musical family and enrolled in theater and dance classes at ages 5 and 6. From there we began taking voice lessons and were cast in many productions. Eventually our voice teacher paired us up together and we quickly learned to harmonize and complement each other vocally. We began landing numerous singing parts in the theater productions. It was then that we fell in love with performing and singing on stage. In 2016 we decided we wanted to pursue music on our own, and we left the world of theater and dance to form Wild Fire.
Since forming Wild Fire, we have performed hundreds of shows from coffee shops to large festivals. We have written with hit songwriters and honed our songwriting craft, produced records with multi-platinum producers, had our music placed in film/TV, won various awards, released five studio albums and many singles, as well as grown our fan base from zero to over 250,000 followers.
We did this all by ourselves, with no record label providing funds for recording, videography, publicity, marketing etc.. It has been very challenging to do this without a label, but we are passionate about our art. We have such amazing, supportive fans which really keeps us going.
Making a music video is very expensive. We must hire a producer, film crew, editor, actors and more. In addition, once the video is complete, we need marketing dollars to get it out into the world.
That's where you come in. We recently finished recording one of our favorite songs to date titled "Don't Mess With Exes." We are asking our supporters and those that are passionate about supporting independent artists to help us reach our goal of producing a top-notch music video for this song, along with additional support for marketing it to popular TV and media outlets. We think we have a great shot at gaining some serious momentum with this song, and you can be a part of something big! Do note that we have two versions of the song (explicit and radio friendly/clean). The video will contain the explicit version.

The Impact
We think this project is very special, especially since it is a pivotal song, defining our new sound. As you know, female artists in the music industry are disproportionately represented. Females as a whole make up around 21% of singers and 13% of songwriters. Couple that with being independent and not signed to a major label, and it becomes even more difficult to make it in this industry. Nevertheless, we keep working hard at it and believe we can succeed! We have a successful track record as can be evidenced by our ever-growing fan base, live shows, awards, media coverage and more. You can help us take it to the next level. Any amount we get above the goal will be used to expand our reach through marketing efforts, new music and new content. You can help our music spread like a Wild Fire!
Other Ways You Can Help
