Hey guys, I’m a 21 year old student and multi-instrumentalist based in Bedfordshire/London looking for some talented and like minded people to start a band/project with.
If you're like me, you consume a hell of a lot of different music in many different genres and that reflects your musical output. In truth, I’ve been wanting to start a genre-wandering moody electronic project (urban/rnb/indie/rock/pop, if such a thing exists - if not it will) for some time now, with a big focus on style, aesthetics and concept - but mainly on making some big heart-felt tunes and having fun.
I play bass, guitar and sing, so I’m happy to take any of them roles depending on who comes forward to be honest, but would also love to try my hand at being a front man or a rotating lead. I'm massively interested in production, sampling and live technology, so ideally i'm seeking band mates that are too - e.g keyboard players who love synthesisers, guitarists who love messing around with pedals, bass players who aren't ashamed to lay down a saucy synth bass line and drummers who are into live sampling and SPD-sx type stuff. If you can sing too that's a definitely a bonus.
I can’t really lay down all of my influences, but I have made a playlist of some to give a general feel, that includes: The 1975, Tame Impala, Mura Masa, Blossoms, Tears for Fears, Prince, Gallant, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Prefab Sprout - so i'm all about soulfulness, the cathartic process of music making and the duality of having a good message whilst having the self awareness and ability to take the p*** out of ourselves.
I've got a few ideas for songs but ultimately gagging for a creative fresh start, I'd prefer people around my age (18-25) but will definitely consider on a case by case basis for those young at heart.
