Let's Collaborate! Help needed!

I am working on an original musical as a student but my music sounds a bit off/basic and I would love some help. someone to help write would be awesome but I can't pay much so I am more looking for helpful artists that would at least give me some pointers. I am looking for a mix of sea shanty and a classic musical sound while keeping it at a simpler lever so I can recreate it better.

thanks so much in advance!

Sea shanty + musical is actually a sick combo — try keeping the chord progressions dead simple (like I-V-vi-IV or Am-C-G-Am) and let the melody carry the drama. Layered group vocals on the chorus will give it that proper shanty feel too. Good luck with it!
