YouTube sensation Julia Nunes is gearing up to release her fourth album — this one funded with a little help from her online friends.

Nunes, who has raked in 50 million views on YouTube and 200,000 channel subscribers since 2007, turned to a Kickstarter to help fund her latest album Settle Down, which debuts on Tuesday.

The crowdfunding platform that helps hundreds of projects raise money for production allowed Nunes to raise the $77,000 she needed for her album. Loyal fans from various social-media sites pitched in to help. To show her gratitude, Nunes listed each of the 2,000 people who invested in the project in the CD liner notes.

"Thanks to all of the ways we can discover music on the Internet, it's become possible to have fans, go on tour and put out records with the humblest beginnings," Nunes told Mashable. "Because I was able to put my music out there, I gave myself a chance to make it — even if it was just with a webcam and a built-in microphone. It opened up the entire world."

Under the username "jaaaaaaa," Nunes has posted videos of her singing and playing the ukulele to original songs and cover songs, including those from the Beatles to Destiny's Child. She's also been featured o Conan O'Brien and Good Morning America.

Although the album isn't out until Feb. 28, stream her album on Mashable for free now.
