I'm Ian, 37 and I write and sing pop songs just as a hobby. However, with Covid and lockdown I've found myself unemployed and with plenty of (too much) time on my hands.
I've always liked pop groups (whether it be all male or all female or mixed) and liked the idea or writing and recording with others.
I wanted to connect with people like myself, who perhaps write their own music but would be interested in an online project. We either write songs together or I'm happy to take the lead in doing that if you're just into the singing part.
I'm not after Celine Dion/Mariah Carey vocals (I'm not that strong a singer myself) but just people who can hold a tune and have experience recording their own vocals. That's the key here - you need to be able to record your vocals at home, with a good mic and good recording software. Vocals on an iPhone or something similar isn't going to cut it.
Ideally I'd like to get 3-4 people to form the online group. This could be other guys, girls/guys I'm not fussed. As long as we have the same intention (to write great songs).
You must be into pop music too. I can't stress that enough. This isn't a 'band' as such it's a 'group' and the music will be pop. Think of groups like Take That, Spice Girls, All Saints, Girls Aloud, The Wanted, Blue... it's that sort of vibe I'd be going for.
As I mentioned, I'm 37 (38 next month) so ideally you'd be somewhere around the 30-45 age range.
This is just for fun but hey, who knows, if we vibe and get some good material together... post lockdown the world is our oyster.
Here's how I would see it working:
1. I would write the song (or can collab with all members or another member on the song). I don't play instruments so it would be a backing track created using music loops on my software. If you know how to do this too - great.
2. I can demo the song for you to learn.
3. You would record your vocal at home (with a good mic and in software so you can then send me the WAV file of your vocal to produce into the track)
4. Once each member has recorded their vocals, I can produce the track, etc. If extra vocals are required after for harmonies or backing vocals etc. I would reach out for that after.
5. Hopefully we'd then have a finished track, with all our voices on, which we could look to perhaps uploading on YouTube? We could create our own channel to host the music we write.
If it sounds fun and of interest to you then please do get in touch. If you think of a better/easier way to do this then I'm open to any suggestions.
Look forward to hearing from you. If you wanted to look at any of my own music which I have written in the past then please just search for Ian Kudzinowski.
Thanks
