[10 Things to Do Before You Release Your Album]

This is really helpful for me, thanks for posting it.

[Advertising Your Music]

Hi John, would you please tell me more about the free artist adverts? I didn't even know that you offered advertising.

[Hello To Everyone]

Hey Ki

Congrats on being a featured artist!

Theres a link to your Songstuff Artist page on every Songstuff page (except for the forum) until next Friday.

Cheers

John

thanks

[Hello To Everyone]

Thanks for the warm welcomes Steve and Lazz...I'm still laughing ...it looks like this site is gonna be fun.

[Hello To Everyone]

btw Ki, Just wanted to say you have a fantastic voice. And the tracks on myspace are excellent. Do you do your own recording/production too?

Thanks for the compliments...yes, I do my own production and recording. The last two songs on my myspace are my song lyrics that I sang over two popular hip hop beats for my mixtape. I just created a songstuff profile. I need to finish uploading some more songs.

[Writing a song]

What way do you find most productive to start writing a song? Do you start with a song concept? Do you start with lyrics? Melody? Rhythm?

Most of the time I start with melody, then rhythm, and lyrics.

Do you have a common way of developing your original idea?

I'm better at coming up with hooks first and then building everything else around that. Sometimes I get a first verse and then I have to come up with the hook and the rest of the song. The hardest thing for me are second verses.

At what point do you start recording?

As soon as I get an idea because if I don't then I may forget it. I even have one of those little voice recorders just in case I get an idea when I'm not at home.

[My Space Pages]

I have one too, it's myspace.com/kitheartist

it's in my signature too

[Hello To Everyone]

I found this site this morning and I thought it looked cool, so I decided to join. I love meeting new musicians and songwriters. I spend most of my time working on music. I sing r&b, soul, pop, and a little hip hop. I have many songs, but a lot of them are unfinished. Hopefully, I can find some collaborators.
