So since I joined the group I had a call with KJ and am excited to meet you guys more. On the call me and KJ went over a bit of everything including going over my north stars (Sofi Tukker, Skrillex, Griz). For me my goal isn't to try to be them. It's to be me and taking what makes sense to me from their process. What I did this week: 1. A bit of research into their back stories 2. Bought a pop filter for my microphone 3. Started recording vocals for one of my songs "You & Me" and touching daw again (FL) Also was still busking AND touched Grok Bot for the first time which is pretty useful but it's usage gets used up to fast...

I have the audio Technica m50x wnd my song was sounding good but realized after playing on my monitors the song sounds TOTALLY different. Are they broken? There's like zero bass in these things. It sounds totally flat and vs on real speakers it sounds totally different! I'm on windows 11 with my focusrite Scarlett 2i2. I use FL (official version not ripped). Maybe I'm missing a setting or something?

Worked on my song You & Me. Only main instrument and raw vocals. Going to buy pop-filter today

Hey guys! I had my first call w/ KJ and decided to join the group, so now it's time to get to business. My plans for now are: 1. Rebuild momentum with production and start working on 1 song at a time. Currently I want to finish my song "Say Hello". It's a song about sex without actually saying the word sex. Pretty rock and roll right? lol. 2. Keep busking during the day and collecting followers and getting feedback. 3. Use this group for posting and accountability and hopefully network and feedback and learn more about you guys and join the group calls 🙂 I'm also going to perform at my friends birthday this week in Lisbon, and I should try to do more outreach in general. I should get someone to record me while performing at these places and post them to my IG. Let's do it.

Hi guys! My name's Zack Plauché. I'm a music artist from Mississippi now living in Portugal. Also I'm good friends with Echoes Embrace from this group. (Note: If you want to skip all the storyline check my 2 questions at the bottom) I'm not great at thinking or categorizing into genres and prefer to just make music and see what comes out as long as it sounds good. Acoustic, Electronic, Wrap, Love, Anger, Zen, etc. dubstep country I don't really care as long as it sounds good. I'm all in on growing my music career for the past 7 months starting from street performing to getting some gigs but now I'm trying to grow dramatically in my career and skill and output in music production. My DAW is FL Studio. I'm open to switching to Abelton but 1. That shits expensive 2. I'm kinda not great at the whole pirate life thing and don't officially want to open myself to legal vulnerability. Either way, I'm pretty sure I made a few thousand euros already at least from busking. I play guitar, piano, and sing. I still take singing lessons weekly for now and take piano lessons sometimes. I'm heavily ready to jump into and do whatever it takes to make this work. Quite frankly, of all of my skills, music is the one I enjoy the most and have the most talent for and can see myself becoming one of the best at. It's always been a natural thing to me like breathing. Sure, was and still is lots of room for refinement and capturing my lightning in a bottle, but that's why I'm here haha. **MY GOAL**: My end goal, like many of us I would imagine, is to be a successful artist. Not just playing covers and DJing other people's songs, but really making my own music and people becoming fans of my art. I want to be a really financially successful and loved music artist. I want people to know me and my music, have super well paying gigs, and live a fulfilled life making and playing music. In practice at the moment, I do need gigs and want to sustain myself with high paying gigs and DJ sets.
