ABOUT

Hello Good People!

Longtime site lurker... found some cool collaborators here so decided to finally sign up, but I don't have a paid account so we'll have to link off-site. E-mail - cthespectacle at proton.me
I'm happy to provide sample audio clips for serious inquiries.

Primarily a vocalist, lyricist, songwriter, & overall creative, big idea-person. Alto/soprano. I play a little bass, ukulele, keys and other random instruments listed. I'm looking to bring some song ideas to life instrumentally w/other musicians (prob 30s-40s age range) who are open and willing to do so; and to add my voice, lyrics, melodies, raps, ideas to other original projects. I'm not super into playing out, but would be open to it under the right circumstances. I'd like to primarily work together on creating a catalog of music that we want to be heard, then go from there. If you need song ideas, lyrics, melodies for your songs/singer or if you have a general theme/idea but are stuck on lyrics, I'm open to working w/you, too.

Style is eclectic, but heavily 90s influence... genre-blending music that makes you think & feel. I'm not into singing heavy metal (nu metal ok) or country, sorry. Lyrics and storytelling are very important to me. Still "finding my voice" a bit, but versatile and good at covers (not my goal though). Depending on the song, the day & who you ask, I can sound like Gwen Stefani, Billy Corgan, Dolores O'Riordan, a 10-year old boy, Clarice from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Kim Deal, Alanis, etc.!!!

I'm serious about completing music/projects and executing artistic visions, but close friends would say I'm always cracking them up. I try to find ways to bring humor into every day and am generally an unusual, witty character irl.

I have a background in graphic design, and have designed album artwork for other RI artists. I love to work on creative projects that include visual elements/"branding" (I despise the term, but it might need to be mentioned here) and cohesive storytelling that encompasses all aspects of an artist/band's sound/lyrics/presentation... I personally avoid social media, but understand the importance of it when it comes to getting your music heard/spreading the word, and am willing to share the responsibility of crafting that aspect in conjunction with the right project.

If you're a multi-instrumentalist with recording/production experience needing vox/lyrics/melodies or if any of the above strikes you and we seem to have similar musical taste, feel free to hmu at my email listed above. I'm still learning my DAWs, proper recording & mixing ish on my own, so it would be great to have others with more experience to weigh in/get feedback from. I live with a long-time multi-instrumentatist/musician who's produced others bands and has a ton of experience, but unfortunately, we have different musical goals. Happy to connect & "find the others" for some serious lightning-in-a-bottle music-making potential!
