Just-an-Orb + Musician in Ottawa, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

***Looking for (1) QTBIPOC sound engineers who use Ableton (2) gigs to be a vocalist/back-up singer (3) drummer and bassist to practice/perform with me

Vocalist since I developed a conscience. Guitarist since 2012. Music-composer since I got the guts to express myself (2022). I'm in my mid-twenties, don't subscribe to gender, and am drawn to do whatever it takes to connect with people in meaningful ways. I've written several songs - usually about grief, rage, and cycles of human-induced pain, unless it's purely a guitar loop.

The genres I feel called to engage in typically are experimental space rock, psychedelic rock, blues, and soft elemental folk with a classical guitar up front.

I'd like to finish more of the songs I've started, and work with musicians who can make my ideas come to fruition. I want to experience practicing singing and guitar-ing live with a band - be it in a private space or at a local venue.

More importantly, music is sacred to me, so active listening and healthy boundaries when working together for a project is non-negotiable.
