I think you're asking too much with ads and giving away too little. It's hard to find a vocalist, it's VERY hard to find a decent pianist and if you throw a rock down any English high street there's a good chance you'll hit a guitarist so maybe start there rather than looking for someone who does all three which, by the way, your ad kind of implies that you do all three to a decent standard, choose which roles you'd be looking to take on in a live situation and look for others accordingly. It's no good bemoaning the fact you can't get a project off the ground because you can't put together a collective of multi instrumentalist singing producers, swapping roles on stage and the studio from song to song, take what you can get if you want to get started.You don't mention age or gender, we all like to say they don't matter, but they do, so at least specify yours, ads like yours tend to be from exclusively men either under 20 or over 50 and impossible work with so if you don't fall into one these nightmare demographics let people know.
You also basically alienate anyone who isn't au fait with a specific piece of recording software so maybe leave that out for now. Nothing wrong with your influences, most musicians have very varied tastes but that variety doesn't give a flavour of YOUR music, just include a link or two, if you reduced your list to the the Beatles and Deadmau5 for example most people would think WTF is that about?
This line; "Website, YouTube, Social Media and Merchandise already in place" is a real turn off for me and I would expect for a lot of other people too, sounds like an ego trip to be honest, comes across as "ready for the big time, just need a band and some music but I'll worry about that later"(especially the merchandise bit). Any one reading that kind of stuff (aside from worrying about delusions of grandeur) would also understandably think this is going to be a very one sided partnership. Lastly location matters, say where you're based and how far you can travel or if you expect people to come to you rather than keeping it vague and advertising in three counties.
