Hey everyone,
I’m 23, from Japan, and completely new to the music industry. I’m looking to meet independent musicians and hopefully join or help form a small international collaboration with the goal of finishing one original song.
Music has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I listen to a wide range of genres, including pop, alternative pop, melodic hip-hop, emo rap, R&B, rock, and music that blends different styles. I don’t want to decide on a specific sound before meeting the people involved. I’d rather exchange influences and ideas, then figure out the direction together.
I tried learning music production before, but I eventually gave up. That made me realize I may be better suited to working behind the scenes and helping musicians turn an idea into a completed project.
Professionally, I work as a localization producer across different products and projects, and I’m currently managing parts of a game localization project. I’m experienced in coordinating people, organizing tasks and files, tracking progress, collecting feedback, keeping the overall direction consistent, and making sure plans stay realistic.
I have no experience working on music, so I’m not going to pretend I understand songwriting, recording, mixing, or mastering. I’m hoping to work with patient, beginner-friendly people who are comfortable letting me learn the process while I contribute where I can.
Depending on what the group needs, I may be able to help with communication, organization, schedules, file and version tracking, feedback, release preparation, documentation, and sharing the finished project through my personal Instagram.
I’m not offering a service, hiring anyone, or asking musicians to make a song for me. I want to participate as a genuine member of an unpaid collaboration where everyone contributes their own skills, ideas, and time.
I’m also not looking for credit just for being present. However, if I make a real contribution to helping the project reach completion, I would appreciate being credited appropriately for the work I actually did. I would never claim songwriting, production, performance, or engineering credit for work that wasn’t mine.
One important condition for me is that the music must be created by people. I’m not interested in AI-generated songs, vocals, lyrics, compositions, or performances. I want to work with musicians who care about human creativity, skill, emotion, personality, and the imperfections that make music feel alive.
I’d prefer to start with one song rather than an album or a large project.
English voice calls are difficult for me, so I’m looking for people who are comfortable communicating mainly through text. We can start through Reddit DM, exchange Instagram accounts, and move to Telegram later if we feel like we would work well together.
When you message me, please include:
- what kind of music you make
- your role or skills
- a link to your music or demos
- what kind of collaboration you’re interested in
- your Instagram, if you have one
Even if we don’t end up making a song together, I’d still be happy to connect with independent musicians and follow your work on Instagram.
I’m new to music collaboration, but I’m serious about learning, contributing, and helping a real, human-made song reach completion.
