Introducing the Vocalists
For me, one of the most enjoyable aspects of creating a song is writing the lyrics. Unfortunately, I have not been blessed with a pleasant singing voice and therefore realised that if people were to hear my songs in full, I would need to find an alternative. I decided to explore VSTi vocal instruments and consequently created four new virtual singers. I thought of them as vocal artists, developed their personas and gave them stage names: meet Volcano Lloyd (age 28) Tasmin Mello (age 24) Isaac Jeffrey (age 25) and Issie Svelte (age 22). The photographs are an AI representation of their look and style.
My intention is not to diminish the unique sound of a professional singer, rather to allow people to hear how my music and lyrics might come together in a completed song. Although I don't sing on the recorded songs myself, I have studied singing techniques. Dynamics, expression, pitch, exhalation, timing, meter and voice colour are all taken into account as I develop the vocal tracks.
To hear Volcano, Tasmin, Isaac and Issie sing my songs, please go to my Music page.

to a novelist every sentence matters...
to a poet every word matters...
to a singer every syllable matters...
