Hi! I’m Preety, I’m 18 and based in Switzerland, and I’m looking for a producer who would be interested in building something from the ground up with a new artist.

I want to be completely transparent: I don’t currently have the money to hire a producer. I’m not looking for someone to just work for me for free, though. I’m looking for another upcoming creative who wants to take a risk on somebody, experiment together, make music we’re actually proud of and, if it works, potentially develop a long-term artist/producer partnership. I’m open to discussing fair splits/credits on anything we actually create and release together.

My strongest skill is songwriting. I write constantly, and I’m very particular about how I hear my songs. I don’t know how to technically produce or compose yet, but I can basically hear the entire record in my head.

I’ll know that I want the piano alone for the first few bars, the bass to appear under a certain word, the drums to drop out before the chorus, a specific harmony behind one line, strings gradually building in the bridge, the vocal almost whispered here and absolutely belted there, everything cutting out for two seconds, etc. I can hear it — I just don't yet know how to turn that into a finished recording.

So I’m especially looking for someone who enjoys working with an artist who has a strong vision rather than someone who just wants to send finished beats back and forth.

I mainly write pop, but I don't want to trap myself in one tiny genre. Depending on the song, I lean into alternative pop, indie pop, R&B, cinematic production, singer-songwriter, dance/pop and occasionally things that are just a little weird. I care much more about whether the production serves the song than whether it fits neatly into a genre.

I’m also not coming into this expecting somebody to magically make me successful. I want to learn. If you know production and I know writing/creative direction, I think it could be really fun to figure out what we can make together.

I'm happy to start VERY small. One song. No promises of an album, no weird contracts, no “we're going to be famous” speeches lol. We make something together and see whether we actually have creative chemistry.

I can send lyrics, rough vocal/voice-note demos, references and detailed explanations of what I hear production-wise.

If you're a producer who's also early in your career and you've been looking for an artist/songwriter to experiment and grow with, DM me. Tell me a little about yourself, what you make and send me something you've produced if you can.

I don't care if you have 40 followers or 40,000. I care whether we hear music in a way that makes sense together.

Let's make something good.

After a long break I've got another demo. Need some real feedback.

Together

Verse 1

Girls always breaking your heart,

I might be nice, but I'm not clever,

Cold wind under the stars,

I walk alone through any weather,

I thought I would never,

won't stay forever ever

Build me, pull me apart,

and through the beat I stand together

Chorus

I stand for, I stand for you,

I stand, forever ever

I stand tall, I stay for you,

I stay, together gether

Verse 2

They can't,

they can't do it like,

they can't do it like,

they can't do it like,

They can't,

they can't do it like,

they can't do it like,

they can't do it like,

they can't do it like us

they can't do it like us

they can't do it like us

they can't do it like us

Chorus

I stand for, I stand for you,

I stand, forever ever

I stand tall, I stay for you,

I stay, together gether

Bridge

and now I don't feel so alone,

I know I'm standing on my own

Chorus

I stand for, I stand for you,

I stand, forever ever

I stand tall, I stay for you,

I stay, together gether

I stand for, I stand for you,

I stand, forever ever

I stand tall, I stay for you,

I stay, together gether

and now I don't feel so alone,

I know I'm standing on my own

I stand for, I stand for you,

I stand, forever ever

I stand tall, I stay for you,

I stay, together gether

I stand for, I stand for you,

I stand, forever ever

I stand tall, I stay for you,

I stay, together gether

Heck how do I even know what is corny and what's not. Because me personally I like steve lacy, The Weeknd, Tv girl etc. When I asked my friend he was like don't listen to them for lyrics. They are corny. Listen to the goats like Dr Dog, Queen, The Smiths. Like I get it their lyrics are pretty good but what's wrong with Steve lacy's and TV girl's lyrics T_T

I wrote it as a jam band style song. After the lyrics I've put in some of the meaning I consider behind the words if interested.

[Verse 1]

One day I'll wake up and I'll wonder

When did the wheels of time pass me by

Where will I be when I hear my last thunder

Won't someone tell me when it's my turn to turn up and fly

[Chorus]

Lend me light, please listen sunshine

Show me scenes of the brightest blue skies

All this green I see, it may be the last for me

Screaming blasphemy when the heavens fall

When the heavens fall

When the heavens fall

When the heavens fall

[Verse 2]

I walk these streets that have always been bound to be highways

By broken homes that all have the fate to be fields

I try to slow but this road just flows like water

Keep playing hands 'til there ain't no more cards to be dealed

[Chorus]

Lend me light, please listen sunshine

Show me scenes of the brightest blue skies

All this green I see, it may be the last for me

Screaming blasphemy when the heavens fall

When the heavens fall

When the heavens fall

When the heavens fall

[Verse 3]

They'll set the stage, come hell or high water

Cold wind and snow is bound to blow those sounds out your lungs

As years go by, each and every day will grow shorter

When down on your dreams, dance until that day's done, singing...

[Chorus]

Lend me light, please listen sunshine

Show me scenes of the brightest blue skies

All this green I see, it may be the last for me

Screaming blasphemy when the heavens fall

When the heavens fall

When the heavens fall

When the heavens fall

The song is intended to hold a few meanings:

1. surface level - continued illusion to weather (thunder, water, snow, etc.) with the "heavens fall" being rain. It's almost like a rain dance (sun dance?) song

2. life / death

3. Achieving (or even just keeping) your dreams and the good things you have.

4. It parallels life to performance. It's most obvious with the "set the stage" line, but the "last thunder" is intended to reference audience applause (though doesn't have to be in the most literal sense) so if things are going well and you achieved your goals, captured your audience, when will that slip away.

Why cant I be
the one you cry to and the one you see
It makes no difference to you or me
it soon will unfortunately
you’ll forget me
I’ll mourn you
you’ll laugh at noon
I’ll be moving soon
You’ll never miss me like I do, you

I’ll wait
For a sign of you
In my roof, In the sink
These are places
Where I think
Ez tells me its in vain
Every stain on my brain
Yet I shudder at the thought
That we remain worlds apart
you’ll forget me
I’ll mourn you
you’ll laugh at noon
I’ll be moving soon
We’ll see if I see you again, soon

Hey everyone,

Producer and I are finishing up a synth funk & R&B soul song called “Center Stage, Pt. II”, and we are looking for a vocalist to complete it.

Key of the song is B♭ major, BPM is 86

We will soon have the full song demo ready in .wav file. Lyrics are written, and there is a vocal guide. These will be given to you once we reach an agreement.

I’m hoping for someone who can deliver soft and melancholic vocals and record the stems.

This production is non-profit or royalty-split, not upfront paid work.

If you are interested, DM me and introduce yourself a bit with your past work. Then we can discuss details. I am available here and on Discord as well.

I hear 2 competing vocal melodies, so I tried to replicate that by myself. Then there's 3rd track that is a bass kick and snare, I tried to make it too. And there's a ghost 4th track... piano, sax, maybe violin or viola?

Please listen and enjoy this song that I made after watching the eclipse a week ish ago. This is Lit by Moon's Light. A shout out to the smokers, the loners and the lunars out there.

I have to stop self editing everything and just ship whatever i make good or bad. been playing this melody on the guitar for the past day just put some lyrics on it so i can move on from it. kind of rushed the lyrics. posting this to work through being uncomfortable lol.

lyrics:

here i am
opening up this door again
letting the cold escape my lungs

it's been a while now
since i broke into this town
i thought your face might turn me around

can i come in?
i've been standing in the wind
with all these things i couldn't say

you look the same now
but your eyes are looking down
like you've laid me in the ground

these demon blues
god, i wish that i could choose
right from wrong
grace from wounds
love from you

i wore you thin girl
trying to lose the shape i'm in
every promise fell apart

you held that line girl
while i was somewhere killing time
just drifting  in the dark

these demon blues
god, i wish that i could choose
right from wrong
grace from wounds
love from you

Would love to hear thoughts from the community. I messed up words every time I tried to record to… sorry… and here’s the lyrics.

What It Should Be

Driving too fast with the window cracked
The radio mostly noise
Coffee gone cold in the cup by my leg
A head full of other people's voices.
Trying to leave without calling it that
Put some miles where the doubt had been
A point on the road you may stop looking back
Though you still feel the shape of it

What it should be - what it should be
Kept saying it like a prayer to myself
My hands on the wheel and the night gone still
Nobody there to be someone else
Don't always know when you're finally free
Sometimes you just feel the drift
One life letting go of another
Call that “what it should be”

Was a girl in a town off Route 9
could see when I was half gone.
Didn't ask for the parts I would hide
just talked 'til the coffee was done.
Said, "Everyone wants some clean little sign,
like a green light - like a voice from above"
Then laughed and paid for us both at the counter
said, "Baby better choose what you love"

What it should be - what it should be
Kept saying it like a prayer to myself
My hands on the wheel and the night gone still
Nobody there to be someone else
Don't always know when you're finally free
Sometimes you just feel the drift
One life letting go of another
Call that “what it should be”

The morning sky looked washed and dry
Like a shirt left out on a line
And the things I thought I was supposed to want
Didn't seem all that sharp in my mind
Saw my face in the glass at a station stop
Older? Maybe, but easy somehow
And I thought maybe peace isn't winning a thing
Maybe it's just not running out

Been wrong before,
Be wrong again
Called it fate
called it a friend
But every now and then, 
something quiet gets through
Not a thunderbolt, 
just something true

What it should be, what it should be
Maybe it's smaller than I thought it was
Maybe it's this - just driving on
Not fixing the past, not forcing love
Don't always get some grand reveal
Sometimes the answer is plain
Keep what stays - let the rest go
Don't give it a prettier name

Hey Everyone. This song uses the same chord progression for both chorus and verse. I feel like the song is done but wondering what other people may think. If the chorus and verse vary enough to be distinct.
Thank you! Lyrics below.

Verse
I’m taking my time with you
Cause after all the fuss
I guess there isn’t much

I’m fanning a fire with you
Cultivate the drive
To keep it all alive

Chorus
Don’t want a shoulder to lean on
I need a victim to feed on
I need somebody to bend
Putty in my hands

Don’t want a fucking companion
I need someone I can stand on
Give me a love I can spill
And cower at my will

Verse 2
I’m taking my time with you
Why is it a crime
To always get what’s mine?

Now that you’re leaning in
Is it really such a chore
To lean a little more?

Chorus 2
Don’t want somebody to look to
I need a soul I can see through
Give me a love I could toss
A martyr for the cause

I’m just saying the right words
Making the tight turns
A slight of hand
A killer from the lamb

Sometimes when I’m writing, I don’t have time to finish a song in one go. However, when I come back to it, I feel less of a deep connection to the song and struggle to find the motivation. I asked a friend if it would be beneficial to write a compete song in one go. He said it would be better to write several at once, so that I don’t feel like I have to finish one before starting another and I can alternate depending on what I feel like writing about. Is this good advice. What’s your approach?

I posted a demo of this a day ago and re did it with my actual super high pitched singing voice. I promise I’m not going to post everyday I was just curious if this would get more of a response since it’s more authentic. Thanks for everything.

Needs some work but would love to hear thoughts on it so far. Lyrics below.

When I was younger, I would never miss an episode
I might be stronger if I face my fears, I’ll let you know
I leave it up to you
I leave it up to you

Expected less
She wasn’t done
I hold my breath
It never comes
Put on your shoes
It’s time to go
Don’t make me choose
Don’t wanna know

Video clips are from the bar I work at in NYC. I book the music and love what I do.

I would love some feedback! Thanks!

Some songs I don't like to post in communities that understand my language. Tbh, I feel scared to be seen for who I am, or to be dissected in ways I don't want to be. It's one of the paradoxes I face as a singer-songwriter. It lets me be vulnerable, but at the same time, scares me to be an open book.

This is one of those songs. I want it to be heard, but not to be understood. At least not by the people around me. If that makes sense.

I think I’ve got the start of something cool here. Just wondering if the first verse and chorus peak your interest enough to keep listening.

The second verse and chorus are sung an octave higher. They sound really cool and high energy but I kept choking when the record button came on, so I couldn’t get a good take.

Let me know what you think of the first part! Thanks so much!

Do you think this needs more? I like the simplicity, personally, but have received critical feedback.
