26 y/o female singer with a few years of training now under my belt and some experience in previous bands playing the odd gig. I'm influenced by a variety of bands but something about hard rock/metal with melodic clean vocals speaks to me most. Something in the vein of Alter Bridge, Stone Sour, Breaking Benjamin but definitely not a copycat of any of those bands. Some of my other favourite bands include Hands Like Houses, letlive, Emarosa, There For Tomorrow, Pvris, older Muse (Black Holes & Revelations and previous albums), Queen, etc.
I've been told my lyrics and melodies are good but that's for you to decide. I have basic knowledge on guitar and piano to help my writing but not to the point where I could perform on those instruments yet. I have a full time job which I love but I am extremely passionate and committed to making something special. Music means the world to me and I want to get all of these ideas out of my head and into the world - singing/music is the only thing that I would give up my career for and I would do it in an heartbeat.
To give an idea of my vocal range, I have been working through songs like Bound To You and Hurt by Christina Aguilera, Stone Cold by Demi Lovato, How Do I Live by LeAnn Rimes and Conspiracy by Paramore - generally have to stick to more commercial songs for practising as it's far easier to find backing tracks! I have some very old recordings on YouTube from when I was around 21-23 and had no training which I can link to. I also have some recent rough recordings of my own original material which I can send over WhatsApp if you'd prefer.
All I'm looking for is some committed musicians who are easy going, passionate and willing to do what it takes to make this thing work. I have dealt with my fair share of time-wasters now and getting pretty fed up. Any questions, feel free to ask.
