SEEKING
Vocalist.ABOUT
Hello,
I am looking for a vocalist + songwriter to compose songs, and record + produce music and videos.
And eventually play gigs!
I wish to start as a duo first.
I strongly believe in environmentalism, and I hope we create and share a message of peace and connection with our natural world, through music and art.
My primary instrument is guitar (electric, acoustic and bass). I also play Tabla (a classical Indian drum set), and various other hand percussions. A little keyboards and electronics - synths, drum pads, etc.
I have pretty good experience with music production (recording, arranging, mixing, mastering), and is something I want to grow in more.
I have a pro-sounding studio setup at my home in the Santa Cruz mountains.
A while ago, I used to play bass in a hard rock / metal band and lead guitar on an Indian rock fusion band. I have a masters degree in Music Technology.
I compose electronic/rock/indie music on DAWs (Logic Pro, Ableton Live) with a mix of software synths, guitar and vocal recordings and drum programming.
Here is a sample of some pieces I've created, on :

Ideally, you are a singer who writes lyrics. And even better if you play an accompanying instrument :).
