I am a songwriter, lyricist and music producer working primarily in Neo Soul, Quiet Storm, Lovers Rock and Pop genres.

​

Every music producer uses different processes when creating their songs. I tend to begin with writing the lyrics as this gives me a flavour of the musical form and tempo that I will use. Next, I compose a basic melody and rhythm on a keyboard. Gradually I build the piece up, adding flourishes, ornaments, more instruments etc., constantly tweaking the mix as I go. Each instrument is notated and engraved as sheet music. Vocals are then added where appropriate and further adjustments are made as needed. When I am finally happy with the song, I master the tracks so that they are industry compliant and provide a pleasant listening experience.

 

I create my songs using Virtual Studio Technology and VSTi instruments. This way of making music provides many advantages over older analogue methods. Thousands of instruments are available and each instrument can be infinitely modified to create a unique sound. Traditional instruments that would be unrealistic to use due to cost or rarity are available at the VST producer's fingertips, allowing novel and innovative music to be explored.

​​

For me, one of the most enjoyable tasks when creating a song is writing the lyrics. Unfortunately, I have not been blessed with a decent singing voice so I use VSTi vocal instruments as an alternative. My intention is not to diminish the unique sound of a professional singer, rather to give people the chance to hear how my song and lyrics might come together, given my own non-existent vocal abilities.
