Hi everyone…a lil about who I am….I hail from the Great State of Texas, Born and Raised. My music background started at an early age, 6th grade band and onward….I was signed a recording contract with a Label when I was 18, my first sour taste of the industry as an artist/ Producer, life happen, I joined the Marines….served in Both Conflicts During the Kuwait invasion and Enduring freedom, just returning home in 2021 with my family, and now concentrating more on making my first love a business… I do not really box myself in to a specific genre as I tend to write all types of music…but if I had to choose I would say soul music and not talking in terms of genre I am speaking terms of How my souls feels at that moment of creation. I am really digging this class learning a lot…though I may seem to be a bit forward, pay it no mind…That is just the Marine in me… I am harmless. Ask my wife. 😎 Great to be here guys… attached is my place of Zen…

This is a recent cue I'm working on and I'm deciding on which would be the right playlist for Disco/AC - I checked out Glenn's very thorough "Sync Moods" worksheet and this track leans toward the "Positive" column - which has elements of Hopeful, positive, optimistic, bright, joyful etc . . . . but has a couple of moods from the "Calm Emotional" column. (Peaceful, calm, reflective) - Disco/AC's auto tagging actually lined up with Glenn's "Positive" column. I'd welcome comments as to what kind of playlist this track could go in and what to call the playlist . . . . Maybe call the list "Hopeful-Positive-Optimistic?" - Thanks! https://s.disco.ac/iwxhnwimmypk

Hii I make inspirational and motivational music I feel could fit in Disney and hallmark and Barbie and I’d love to make more songs like that as well as singer songwriter type songs I will send some disco links message me if you’d love to collab or connect https://tgstarlight.disco.ac/share-new/578917600/user/3289097?playlist_id=28702647&signature=B7Ux4GRKcoPOV0OOtDSJDlN0oOI%3Ao5HTyyWS

Yay! Someone likes my art! I just had two songs forwarded by Taxi to "a major league EXCLUSIVE Music Licensing Firm that's been placing TAXI members’ music in Film and TV for years" in the genre of AMBIENT NEW AGE INSTRUMENTALS. Fingers crossed, it will lead to something! The actual songs are posted under Glenn's recent request for songs that are sync ready, and for those interested, this is the brief that I responded to: ------------------------------------------------------- This Company would really love to find Down-Tempo Instrumentals that could be heard on a playlist with the following references and others like them: "Sunrise" by nelward "Freedom at the 45th Floor" by Pauline Anna Strom "Forest I" by Peter Davison "Pastel Memories" by Lionmilk Please submit Ambient New Age Instrumentals that feel both hugely spacious and deeply calming! Your Compositions should be serene and atmospheric, emphasizing slow evolution throughout, rather than more traditional "Pop" style structures. Flowing soundscapes, gentle, very slow-developing melodies and motifs, little to no rhythmic content, and an overall sense of relaxation and mindfulness are all recommended to nail this pitch. Your arrangements should be uncluttered yet immersive, with no abrupt changes, big dynamic moments, or distracting moments that might jar the listener. Instrumentation in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references and similar Ambient New Age works is recommended, including airy synthesizers, synth pads, gentle piano, soft strings, drones, and organic elements like chimes or light sound design. If you're using virtual instruments or samples, they need to be high-quality and current-sounding. Original Compositions only, please! All submissions should be around 2 to 4 minutes in length, give or take. Buttoned endings with a natural fade-out will work best. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Hi everyone! I am 1-day old in vault-years. I like what I see/hear. Like most of you, I've been writing, recording and performing for years. But this is a new adventure and I'm truly excited to take it with you. I'm going to introduce myself by playing one of my songs that most closely shows my 'wheelhouse' - 'Something to Say'. https://youtu.be/zzBDx0IBNm0 It's a song that delves into what ordinary people find in themselves that allows them to become heroes. Where I hope for YOUR help is to shape this new one...'Here'. https://youtu.be/jOn-PLEyjgU It's just at demo stage. And I purposely attempted to get away from my wheelhouse to something more contemporary. Is it contemporary? I've played it for a few people. Feedback is mixed: primarily I'm hearing that the format isn't normal or clearly defined...it seems to meander. I'm still in the honeymoon stage.... so, I love it. How could I make it less meander-y. More verse/refrain-y? Or should I? I see that I've typed a lot! Is this too much for a first post? Let me know. Thx, Tom
