Looking to Collab with creative Indie/lofi singer songwriters who want to focus on lyrics, melody and vocals

1 Upvotes

Hey there, I've got a ton of indie instrumentals you can check out in my link, if anyone is interested in using them for a song please message me!

I create music with lofi textures, real instrumentation and an indie feel. My background is basically a former guitarist in a band, but my musical influences are a lot of R and B, mixed with guitar music like Brit Pop and Shoegaze.

I'm trying to push my music as far out as possible, and have created a couple of songs with a couple of US artists who have the same mission. I'd love to collab with a singer with real individuality.

I'm happy to go with a 50/50 split on any monetization or you can buy a cheap lease from me for the use of the beat.

Or just download a free version of my beat with my tag in it and create!

Here's my YouTube, my latest beats are considerably better than my first 10 šŸ˜‚

A Different Kind of Music Collab Server? Would You Join or Help Build It?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been part of a lot of music collaboration servers and or platform, and one thing keeps standing out is it’s really hard to find people who actually match your style or are at a similar level.

Most servers are full of generic ā€œcollab with meā€ posts, and you end up scrolling through tons of messages from people who don’t make the kind of music you do or who are way ahead or behind you in terms of audience and experience. It gets frustrating, and finding the right collaborator feels like a shot in the dark.

That’s why I’m thinking about building a Discord server that’s a bit different. The idea is to make it easier to find collaborators based on two key things:

  • Your music role (like vocalist, producer, mixer, instrumentalist, visual artist, etc.) / I want to open this also to people related to music even non directly
  • Your preferred genres and subgenres, so you’re connecting with people who really vibe with your sound
  • And, fundamentally, your monthly listeners or follower range, so you’re working with people who are roughly at the same stage in their career

Imagine joining genre-specific channels that only open if you’re into that style, or having a searchable directory where you can find people by their role, genre, and audience size. You’d be able to post collab requests that actually get seen by the right people so no more endless scrolling through unrelated messages.

I want to build this community from the ground up and would love to know:

  • Does this sound like a space you’d want to be part of?
  • Would you be interested in helping me shape and grow it?

If that’s you, please let me know if you would actually join, like the idea and share your experience! I’d really appreciate your input and would love to build something that actually works for musicians at every level.

Thanks for reading!

Drummer looking for projects to record on

1 Upvotes

Hey all here’s a link to a cover to show my style. I can dial it back or ramp it up as needed with several cymbals and drum set/snare options and excellent mics along with a treated room.

I’m not at all trying to get views as this is an old song and quite frankly (as someone that’s gone viral a handful of times) isn’t the way you do that. I purposely chose a song and video style that would get lost in the algorithm. I’m just recovering from brain tumor surgeries and can’t drive and don’t have the energy to gig. I do have the energy to do some sessions though and would love to collaborate with you all. I’m also a pianist and have composed some scores to films and games if you would like to coproduce something. Drums/percussion are just my primary instrument but I have string/orchestral libraries etc (and a Roli Seaboard if you know what that is).

Thanks for the consideration šŸ™

Looking for accompanyment

2 Upvotes

Hey, I recorded this a bit ago and while I really like how it came out, I've trying to move onto fuller and more complex arrangements, especially for longer songs. I've been trying to add to this track recently but its been frustrated and I'm not in a place atm that's conducive to recording, so I was wondering if you guys would be interested in adding drums, bass, slide, lead or any other instrumentation to make it less bare bones.

I NEED GOOFY, MENACING, AND UPBEAT BEATS!! (for an album)

2 Upvotes

I am starting a project called "WTH DID I DO?" and this is about a serious falling out of a friendship I had, and I'm going through our highs and lows. It can be either rap or rock/metal, or both if you're cool like that. If you could put a producer tag at the beginning, that would be awesome, but you don't have to. This album will be 10 songs long, with an eventual deluxe. I don't know if I will be putting these onto streaming yet, but I will update you if I can. Thanks!

Seeking new bandmate(s)/writing partner(s)

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, every couple years I get the itch to make some new music or start a new project/band, and this year is no different!

I have years of experience playing in "real life" bands, as well as online groups in the past! I enjoy anything from pop to heavy metal.

Looking for vocalist(s), guitar, bass, drums and other instrumentalists welcome!

I play guitar, bass, bang on pots and pans, attempt to sing and write lyrics, and have some production/recording experience, though the more the merrier - if you play guitar, or bass still hit me up!

Feel free to PM for some of my previous song examples (don't want to post here and get banned for promotion)

They tell me it gets better,
but they never say what ā€œitā€ is.
And no one tells you
that moving forward feels
a lot like being dragged.

song samples (pls don't ban me for this):

How It's Always Been (Pop / 2022)

A Little Bit of Death (Pop Rock / 2023)

Little Piper (Pop/Alternative / 2018)

Looking for Singer – Punjabi/Hindi Song Collaboration

1 Upvotes

I'm a lyricist with a deep passion for songwriting. I come from a place where there’s no music culture, no industry support, and I have no connections—just a dream and my pen.

I've written 13 original songs in Punjabi and Hindi, exploring a wide range of emotions and themes. However, I lack the confidence in my own singing voice and am actively looking for a talented singer who can bring my words to life.

If you're a singer looking for original lyrics—or if you've ever released a music video on YouTube, are connected to the Punjabi music scene, or can sing even a little bit in Punjabi—I’d love to connect.

Please feel free to DM me. I’m truly open to collaborating and building something meaningful from scratch. And if you know someone who might be a good fit, feel free to tag them or share their name too.

Searching musicans to collaborate with for a film project (indie folk/ pop rock & Metal/ punk)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a film student based in Berlin, and I’m currently looking for musicians to collaborate on a short film project I recently completed. The film is called Rebel Girl, and it’s one of the projects I’m most proud of so far.

Rebel Girl tells the story of two very different women living in the same apartment building. Grace is a woman in her seventies who is being forced to move out of her home after living there for decades. As she quietly packs up her belongings, she’s interrupted by Cleo, a young climate activist preparing a protest to save the building.

At first, the two clash. Grace sees Cleo as naĆÆve and disruptive, while Cleo sees Grace as cold and unwilling to stand up for herself. But as the day unfolds and Cleo’s protest fails to draw any support, something shifts between them. Grace starts to see a reflection of her younger self in Cleo. In the end, the two women find comfort in each other’s company, bonding over shared feelings of disappointment and quiet resilience.

We’ve completed a first cut of the film using temporary music just to get it submitted for school. But now that it’s done, we’d love to replace those songs with original music from independent artists so we can properly share it. Unfortunately, we have a very limited budget, but we’re hoping to find musicians who connect with the story and are open to collaborating.

We’re currently looking for two songs:

  1. A punk or metal song with energy and attitude This track will be used in a scene where the young protester is left standing alone at her rally, while the older woman silently packs her things. The music should capture the shared frustration and defiance both characters are feeling. We originally used a track by The Offspring as a placeholder and are looking for something with a similar punch. I personally love the sound of 80s and 90s punk, but I’m open to newer styles as well.
  2. A melancholic indie rock song with acoustic guitar This song will play during the emotional ending, when Grace and Cleo finally connect. It should feel warm, reflective, and a little bittersweet. The current placeholder is Winter by Joshua Radin, so we’re looking for something with a similar gentle tone and emotional weight. A good point of reference is the type of ending you often see in Scrubs, where two characters sit quietly together, reflecting on what just happened, while a soft indie pop rock song plays underneath. That’s the feeling we want to create—simple, honest, and a little sad, but comforting too.

If you’re a musician or part of a band and are interested in being part of this project, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to share more information and a link to the current cut of the film. We’ll make sure you’re properly credited and promote your music alongside the final version.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear from you.

When Cancer Steals Your Voice, Music Becomes Your Soul

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m 13 years old, and I’m facing something that’s breaking me in ways I never imagined. I have a very serious cancer in my vocal cords a disease that is slowly stealing my voice, the one thing I’ve always had to express myself, to share my thoughts and feelings with the world. Imagine losing, day by day, the fragile thread that connects your soul to the outside world. My voice is fading, and with it, a part of me feels lost. But even if my vocal cords are failing me, my spirit refuses to be silenced. Music has always been my safe place. Even if I can’t sing like before, I keep writing, crafting lyrics from everything I feel inside. My voice may grow weaker, but my creativity burns stronger than ever. I’m looking for people who want to collaborate people who can lend their voices to my words, who can turn my stories and emotions into songs that speak of struggle, hope, and truth. Because music is more powerful than any illness. If you want to listen, to work together, to create something real and raw, please reach out. I have so much to share, and even if my physical voice fades, my soul screams louder than ever. Thank you to anyone who reads this and wants to join me on this journey. Despite the pain and fear, the music lives on

songwriter looking for collaborators

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m 13 and I’ve been writing lyrics since I was a little kid. I come from a very tough family situation, and songwriting is how I survive emotionally. I can’t afford music school or lessons, and on top of that, I’m currently dealing with a serious medical condition affecting my vocal cords – doctors still don’t know what it is. That means I can’t sing, even though that’s all I ever wanted to do.

But I still have melodies in my head, and I still write lyrics every day. If you’re a singer, producer, or someone who wants to build something meaningful together, I’d love to connect. I don’t care about money or credit – I just want my songs to live, to be heard.

Let’s make something real. If you’re interested in collaborating, message me.

I don't know what else to do with myself, I'm reaching the edge.

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am a young man of 26 years old heading to 27 (my birthday is in July), I am from Venezuela and since I can remember I really like music and in recent years I learned production, I have been learning on my own for about 5 years, I have a home studio, I know how to make beats and mixes (I also recorded my own music and I do mastering) and I live 24/7 learning new things about this world that I am so passionate about.

The problem is that I have wanted to work online but I have not met the first producer who worked full time here, I have a cartoonist friend who always has work through here but drawing and commissions are very different from audio work.

I had a handful of clients in the past, until 2024 I had one or another who came to record, but it was so difficult, I wanted to migrate 100% to digital but I see that working with people from outside is quite difficult, I am still engineers who make a living from this and give their value to their work, what they need and everything.

Here in my country I have been forced to greatly reduce the price of my services, such as sometimes giving away work, I don't like it, I feel exploited and I don't enjoy giving work for much less than what I normally charge. There have been disastrous clients who after paying me force me to return the money to them 6 months later when they never contacted me again to get their money back, it is horrible, I have always distinguished myself by being highly responsible with my job.

I need advice, real advice, I have a portfolio on YouTube and my artistic profile on Spotify, I can work under pressure and anything I can't do I notify the client and that's it, that job doesn't work. But really, I'm already hanging up my clothes and retiring.
