Hello
1. Do you sing, play an instrument or instruments? I am a singer and lyricist who is learning to play the piano. I have attempted to play guitar and bass in the past, but it never really stuck. I started writing lyrics when I was 16, 20 odd years ago.
2. Are you in a band or bands? Not at the moment.
3. Do you write songs? I write lyrics and music, however most of my songs are in various stages of completion. I have vocal melodies that need chords, some lyrics that are just words and some songs that need finishing (intros, outros, middle 8s etc.). I wish I had a song writing partner, maybe at some point
4. Do you record your music? I tend to only record basic ideas and prefer to go and record things properly with some session musos in a studio. I have a basic USB recording interface that helps capture my voice and piano. My EP So Far can be found on most platforms.
5. What other roles do you perform in the music business?
I'm honestly trying to focus on the music, loving learning and playing as much as I can rather than getting bogged odwn in admin.
6. Are you a tech head? Nope
7. What country do you live in? Australia
8. What are your ambitions? To work through this stack of lyrics I have and write as many songs as I can. Perhaps look at collaboration and having a band.
9. Do you draw/paint/write stories/computer art/dance or other creative pursuit? I have a creative job where I make eLearning content and I get to play around with design but I also am into fibre arts (crochet, punch needle) and have tried my hand at many art forms (mosaic, beading, quilting etc.)
10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff? Meet like minded people. I'd like to find if there is a group of people who listen to indie folk rock music who want to talk about lyrics, what they like, why they like them. If anyone knows about any threads or groups, let me know.
