Description:
I’m a 22 year old male guitarist, singer, and songwriter and my passion is the classic themes of 20th century pop and rock. everything from the Jazz era up to the 80s. My favorite band is the Beatles, who have inspired most of my original song efforts. I’m generally better as a lyricist than a composer, and I would like to meet someone more melodically inclined whom I can collaborate with. I have made several demo recordings (not studio quality, just me and a guitar) of original and cover versions which I would be happy to share as a starting point. I’m looking for a genuine, long lasting collaboration, not just hiring someone out for one song or something. We would write songs together, maybe start a band, make an album or a few, etc.
Dreams and ambitions:
My dream is to start a band that evokes the feeling of music from the golden age of pop (1920s-1980s), that brings these timeless, classic themes back into today’s music industry, to meet a songwriting partner that can help make this dream a reality.
