ABOUT

Looking for people to write songs with! I need to improve my songwriting skills, as I feel like I've plateaued. I am especially bad with finishing songs (great at starting ideas however!)

I generally gravitate towards creating softer music, eg. indiepop, sadboi music, pop, ballads, indie rock. But my tastes include jazz, classic rock, funk and hip hop.

Also, if you happen to be a drummer or bassist, I would love to collaborate, as I seem to find myself writings songs with nice harmonies and melodies, but they always have a lacklustre rhythm section.

Would love to work with an amazing singer as well, since my vocals are still very much at a beginner level.
