I'm a 21 year old Guitarist, Pianist and singer and I need other musicians to create something really special. When I look for through these ads I tend to just want to know who the person is and what they do and so will do that now:
I promote myself through instagram primarily: https://www.instagram.com/samrwray/
I have a few things on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/0e52QYEbH6yQJyYVmOVjKn?si=E76JoxO7QGy_kMKtpHasfw (though this doesn't sound too much like what I'm looking to morph into, you can at least hear my voice/ influences)
And I have some covers and originals on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CARPGkwRCpo
I enjoyed lots of success with a band I formed two years ago and recorded an album (home recorded by me in a kitchen with limited knowledge of engineering but the song writing hasn't changed too much) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fodp-CqMDw
Im open to anyone who has similar influences to myself who see themselves and their instrument/ voice as a good fit for what I do. I think ideally I would be looking to partner with a soul/ mowtown orientated bassist and a rock or jazz drummer. I also like keys players and a second guitar could be good.
The music needs to work on all levels: it needs to be rhyrmic (great drummer and good feel), emotional (good song writing) and virtuosic (experienced, practised musicians).
Influences: The Beatles, The Avalanches (if you don't know, go listen to Since I left you, if you love it, we'll be on the same page), Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye (Whats happening brother), any track with James Jamerson on, Elton John (Bennie and the Jets style), Steely Dan "do it again", The whole of Amy Winehouse's Back in Black (particularly He Can Only Hold Her and Tears Dry on Their Own) etc, The Voice of Steve Windwood. I consider all of these artists and these songs to be as good as it gets and is where we need to be aiming.
I take this very seriously and need someone(s) who do too. Im also looking for musicians roughly between the ages of 18 and 24.
Get in touch with this or by whatever means you can,
cheers,
Sam
