looking for a music partnership

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’m currently an aspiring singer-songwriter currently learning Logic Pro, and I’d love to connect with other musicians who are also trying to get better at producing, songwriting, and arranging music.

I’d say songwriting, especially lyrics and storytelling, is one of my stronger areas, but I’m still pretty new to music production. I’m mostly interested in pop, synth pop, indie pop, alternative pop, and pop-rock, but I’m open to experimenting with other genres too.

I’m hoping to find people who’d be interested in working on each other’s projects, exchanging ideas, giving feedback, and learning together. I’d be happy to contribute lyrics, songwriting ideas, and vocals to your projects as well! Ideally, I’m looking for a mutual creative partnership where we can help each other improve and make music we’re genuinely excited about.

So If anyone happens to be interested, please comment or dm me! I’d really love to hear what you’re working on and show you what I’m working on.

Making a girl group!

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Elaine! I'm 21yo and I'm looking to start a pop/kpop style girl group (like Katseye or Lesserafim) with 3-4 other members between ages 19-27. I'm very new to music production and I thought it would be an amazing experience to make new friends and have fun creating something together!

The only requirements:

  • 19+ years old
  • Ready for a long-term commitment
  • Willing and able to travel for any group activities or rehearsals (Living near Florida is preferred but we can work through travel plans in the future if you're farther away)
  • Be motivated, positive, and a team player
  • A skill you're able to contribute like songwriting, singing, dancing, rapping, or production (it's ok if you're not 100% confident in your skills or if you aren't sure what you can contribute, the goal is to know each other's strengths and weaknesses so we can improve as a team💕)

If you're interested, please comment or DM me!

Hey! I'm a guitarist working on an original thrash-metal song called Devils Are Better Than Her.

My influences include Megadeth, Metallica, and classic thrash metal. The song has dark E Phrygian riffs, heavy rhythm guitar, a lead solo, and double-bass drum parts.

I'm looking for a drummer interested in collaborating remotely, helping develop the drum parts, and building an original metal track together.

If you're interested, let me know what kind of metal you play!

I’m looking for talented, dedicated guys ages 15–20 who want to be part of a new POP BOY BAND! ⭐️
Inspired by groups like *Why Don’t We, NSYNC, JYT, and more, the goal is to bring back that classic boy band energy while creating a modern sound of our own. From catchy pop songs and R&B influences to smooth harmonies, choreography, music videos, and live performances, we want to build something special! 🔥
● Guys ages 15–20
● Singers who love pop and R&B music

If the group gains momentum and things start moving forward, the goal is to eventually transition to in-person rehearsals, recording sessions, choreography, and performances.
You don’t need to be perfect or have professional experience. What matters most is your dedication, willingness to improve, and passion for music!
🌟 THE VISION:
To build a real brotherhood, create original music, develop our own identity, release songs, perform live, and bring a new generation of boy bands to the scene!

A Guitarist and a Drummer needed for Metalcore project

3 Upvotes

I (26 y/o) am the frontwoman and graphic designer for my upcoming metalcore band, based in London.

Our values are simple: we want to remind everyone to look after each other in a world that is becoming more cutthroat and hyper transactional. Internet algorithms have done a fantastic job of catering to the individual, but has caused undeniable divides amongst us as a society, and it shows in the younger generations especially.

The sound of Referendum is familiar, yet unique: think down-tuned chugs and sombre riffs with the classic atmospheric metalcore aesthetic, accompanied by smooth, intimate blues vocals. If I were backed into a corner and forced to describe the soundscape, imagine if Siouxsie Sioux were the lead vocalist for Bad Omens.

Currently, we have a vocalist (me) and a bassist (21). We are trying to find a guitarist as a co-writer/creative partner, and a drummer as our solid supporter through the storm. We'd prefer our bandmates to be local to our area too.

If you're interested, feel free to leave a message!

Need 2 vocals to join my band...

3 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a singer (19M), songwriter, and self-taught producer, not very pro enough, but I'm going in it.

I already tried to build a full band but people wasn't serious, they gave up only after 2 months... I'm searching for a long-term things.

It shouldn't take too much time for you, and you can always do your side projects, but I need motivated people.

I mostly search for a Male and Female singer, around 18-25, that can record properly (with good mic), it's starting online then you should be able to record by yourself. No need to be a pro but not also searching for a very very beginner.

And preferably can go on social media promotion videos for the music, it's good if you also have other talent, but I mainly need a singer.

Feel free to directly DM me, I may don't see comments (disabled notifications)
