Hi, my name is Tony and I've been looking to start a performing band for a longtime and maybe even record if I ever get that far. I've been looking to do something like this for a longtime but have never really found the right moment or have bottled it not really quite knowing how I pull a functioning band together, so I've taken time now to do this.
I have a day job, working in healthcare but I write and compose on piano and also sing in my spare time. I kinda just wanna expand on it and make my sound a reality I guess. I don't know.
I've put a little link to a YouTube demo page - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_RgsNBc924lnSPSZal1Lw?view_as=subscriber
which, I set up not long ago with a sample of mostly unfinished pieces but it gives you an idea of my sound. I think there's like 5 or 6 pieces on there. I've been working on Dreamstate and Incendiary (Fire and Ashes), which would be cool to develop further. (I've already written lyrics to 'Dreamstate' but it would be cool to play. I literally listen to most music but my major influences are probably the likes of: SG Lewis, Jeff Buckley, Sampha, LANY, London Grammar, Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Flawes, Paolo Nutini, Bonobo, Michael Kiwanuka, Cinematic Orchestra, Ben Howard, Foy Vance, Peter Gabriel, The 1975, Rhodes, and Fink to name a few.
I'm looking to form a cohesive friendly band with a big sound and ideally, I'm looking for:
ANOTHER PIANIST
SINGER
GUITARIST
BASSIST
DRUMMER
SAXOPHONE
AND SOMEONE GOOD WITH MIDI DEVICES, but I'm truly open to other instruments
I have written some stuff of my own, some with lyrics but I'm equally open to other things people have written or collaborating with them. It would be cool to finally get this off the ground, so feel free to message back.
Thanks,
Tony
