SEEKING
Vocalist.ABOUT
I’m a lifelong guitar player/ intermediate level producer who is looking to partner up. I’m friendly and personable but tend to work alone and yet I really want to share the journey of making music and augment the skills I don’t have with someone who excels in those areas.
I’m pretty good at coming up with melodies, bass lines, synth lines, grooves etc. I’m sloppy as hell as a player but that ends up being my superpower when writing, which I’ve come to appreciate. I usually clean things up in the DAW. I’m decent at arrangements and rough mixes but I really want to focus on exploring sound design, developing instrument skills (piano, drums, even singing eventually, etc) and generating prolific ideas.
Where I’m seeing partnership is in collaboration, sonic storytelling, sharing excitement about everything music, tame some of my over the top ideas, and perhaps someone to take over the DAW side stuff.
My goals are mainly to release albums and content in order to parlay those into other music industry opportunities such as commercial work or TV film. Touring and performing isn’t exactly a priority for me though I’d be open if the content we create together is conducive to it.
I haven’t released anything officially yet but here is a link to some of my unfinished work to get a sense of what I can generate. https://on.soundcloud.com/tETrtw3ANHtkTBso9
Projects I’d like to work on: release an electro indie pop album, a full electronic album, an ambient album, and also work with upcoming and established artists to complete their projects.
If this is resonating at all and you think it’s worth a conversation or two over coffee I’d love to meet you. Even if what I’m looking for doesn’t line up exactly with your goals it might still be good to meet up anyways just to see what comes from a conversation.
Warmly,
Mike
