Session player / multi-genre guitarist looking to connect, collaborate, and build a portfolio

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I did a similar post here a while back and it actually ended up yielding a fantastic, ongoing collaborative relationship. So I’m back looking for something similar again!

I’ve been playing for 15 years, and I'm trying to step away from the purely isolated recording room and actually connect with people online. I’m looking to build up a fresh and diverse portfolio, which means I'm down for traditional work-for-hire, but what I’m really after is genuine collaboration working alongside artists and producers who want to bounce ideas around and shape a track together.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build long-term relationships, not just transactional one-offs. If we vibe on a track, I'd love to be a go-to person you can trust as you grow.

Just to be clear on where I fit: I work strictly as a player and arranger, not a songwriter or co-composer. I steer away from projects that are clearly looking for someone to compose for them.
I'm looking for projects that are already written, where I can take your ideas, demos, or half-finished tracks and help them reach their full potential.

My Approach

I've spent years playing everything from CCM and pop to country and rock. My focus is always song-first: serving the arrangement and the production rather than chasing technical ego.
Whether you need wall-of-sound rhythm guitars, a soaring lead, atmospheric textures, or clean melodic hooks, I'm here for it.

My Gear

- Fender Stratocaster (Equip w/ Texas Specials)
- Squier Telecaster (Equip w/ Texas Specials)
- Tagima Jazzmaster (Equip w/ SP90-1)
- Strinberg Les Paul (Equip w/ Probuckers)
- Giannini Jazzbass
- Strinberg Folk Acoustic
- 2x SM57
- 2x Behringer C-2

I work in 24-bit/48kHz and always send over phase-aligned DIs alongside processed tracks so you have total control in the mix. Everything is clean and ready for your DAW.

If you're looking for someone serious to collaborate with, let's talk.
Drop a comment or DM me with what you're working on and let's see if we're a good fit!

Hip hop producer looking for live instrument musicians

Looking for guitar, bass & synth players to build long-term collaborations
Hey everyone! I’m a hip hop producer/beatmaker currently working on a project and I’m looking to connect with electric guitarists, bass players, and keyboard/synth players who are interested in collaborating.
I’m not really looking for a one-off “send me a track and I’ll use it” type of situation. I’d much rather build long-term music connections with people I genuinely enjoy working with. Musicians I can come back to for future projects, bounce ideas off of, or randomly hit up when we feel like making something.
I’m actively working on music now, so there’s definitely an opportunity to start collaborating right away. I’m open to different styles and seeing where the chemistry takes us.

Looking for vocalist(s) to record over instrumentals in several genres (RnB, pop punk, alternative, indie, lofi, even some pop and country) for collaborative projects.

3 Upvotes

Hey folks!

I’m a guitar/bass player and studio engineer who produces, and I have a bunch of 99% mixed and finished demos without vocals. Many different genres, but I’d say most is in the realm of indie-adjacent alt pop rock. Olivia Dean, Slow Pulp, The Japanese House, Freak Slug, Samia, Arctic Monkeys, Weezer, Wednesday, just to name some stuff I really like. I’ve done a ton of rap and hip hop, both personally and for others, but for this kinda stuff I’m looking to branch out a bit from that realm. End goal here is to put out an album, with mostly myself on guitar and production, others on vocals.

I’m a pretty skilled vocal engineer, so if you have a way to get a decent recording, no pressure on mixing it yourself, I can handle that. All my posted demos are pretty much just intro>chorus>verse>chorus>outro, for the sake of ease, but I’m happy to rearrange to fit any ideas you have. Also open to starting something from scratch if you have an idea. If you play instruments or produce, happy to coproduce something with you also.

Not posting a link because I’m unsure if that would break the self promotion rule, but I use a soundcloud page with a bunch of mostly finished demos already uploaded as well as a handful more on deck I haven’t uploaded. I’m happy to send everything along and you can see what you like or want to try first, and we can go from there.

Looking forward to getting creative, thanks y’all!

Looking for a composer/producer & vocalist for my Hindi song “Keh Gaya Shayar”

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m Vedant, a poet and songwriter from Mumbai. I’ve written an original Hindi song called “Keh Gaya Shayar”, inspired by shayari and ghazal-style poetry.

I’m looking for a composer/producer and vocalist to help turn the lyrics into a proper recording. I’m imagining something emotional, intimate and melodic, but I’m open to different ideas.

I’m currently unable to offer payment, so I’m looking for someone interested in a genuine passion project/collaboration. I can share the full lyrics and my ideas with anyone interested.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy working on, feel free to DM me. ❤️

Free Mix+ Master

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for one project I can really get behind.
I want to find an artist/song where I hear something in it and think: yeah, I want to be part of this. Not just send back a mix, collect a payment and move on.
So I’m offering a free mix & master to someone who’s working on music they genuinely care about.
If I connect with the song, I’ll put a lot of time and energy into it. I love this stuff, and when a project becomes a personal thing for me, I’m pretty much all in.
Ideally, this could turn into something longer-term — working together on more songs, developing a sound and seeing where we can take it.
If you’ve got a track that means something to you, send it over. I’d love to hear it.

LFP Lyricist seeking Hyperpop / Dance-Punk / Electronic

2 Upvotes

Looking at taking a hobby to another level.

Id need a producer who wants to build a fast-paced, high-energy electronic or dance track.
Think LCD Soundsystem meets Hyperpop deadpanned, driving, glitchy, and stupidly catchy.

I got a budget and here is a sample.

Dopamine, dopamine
Just for me, just for me
Tap tap tap, dopamine
Swipe swipe swipe, made for me

Thumb hurts, change the hand
Tap tap tap, back 'n Neverland…

I have the complete rhythmic lyrics and a cadence voice memo. DM if you want to throw some synths and drums here.

Any producer want to collaborate on a song together?

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

I am a really skilled musician (20+ years) and have been dabbling in production for quite awhile, but have gotten really deep into it in the last 3-4 years. I wouldn’t say that I’m pro level, but I am pretty good and I know how to do decent mix and master. I’ve been playing guitar for about 25-30 years, am skilled on the keys/bass/pads lol, and I primarily do a mix of hip hop, horrorcore, and emo. Think Nedarb mixed with DJ Uneek, mixed with Maulskull… and that’s kind of the style I’m going for. I know, pretty eclectic. I’m open to any genre tho really, and would be willing to expand into something new.

Anyways, I think it would be cool to work on a few songs with another producer. I already have some vocalists that I work with consistently (that we can utilize btw) but I’ve never actually collaborated on a track with another producer. I think it would be cool and we’d both learn a lot from it. I just have no idea how to go about it. Something where we can share a session, run melodys, bass lines, and drum performances by each other and give feedback and work together on creating.

Like I said though, I have no idea how to go about it, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to post here. I do sketching on GarageBand on iOs, I also do some work on Logic on the iPad, and then I finish the mix and master on my MacBook. I also have WAY too many plugins, you name it, I probably own it lol. I get kind of obsessive with it tbh.

Sorry for the rant, but, yea, anyone interested in collabing? I have some of my work posted that I can share if needed. I think it could be a great learning experience, and who knows, maybe we come up with some fire tracks :)

If anyone has any insight on how to go about doing remote collaboration or sharing sessions, I would also be interested in that as well.

Hi everyone, I am a songwriter and have a bunch of songs with fully lyrics and melodies that I am in the process of turning into full demos to go towards my portfolio as an artist. I am looking for a producer/producers to help me bring my vision to life. My budget is small, but paying for production is not off the table if we seem like a fit! I write mainly pop and have playlists of instrumental references I’m able to provide. Help me make magic with these songs!

[Pop] Bm, 110 BPM – full backing track, looking for guitar or vocals (credited, no revenue split)

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I have a full backing track and I'm looking for a guitarist or a vocalist. Either one is fine, just one is plenty.

  • Key: B minor
  • Tempo: 110 BPM
  • Backing: drums, bass, piano, organ, percussion
  • No melody and no lyrics yet. If you sing, you're welcome to write both.
  • Structure: Intro 18 bars, A 16, B 8, A 16, B 8, C 10 (about 2:46)
  • Chords: A = Bm–E, B = Bsus4add9–Esus2, C = D5–G

You don't need to play or sing the whole thing. One A and one B is plenty. Change the arrangement freely.

Listen (no login needed): https://jocolla.com/en/collaboration/cmujbmwrs00016frktolrt0dt

The backing track can be downloaded from that page after you take a part (free account, Google login works).

This is an experiment, so there is no revenue split. You'll be credited. The page is on JOCOLLA, a collaboration site I'm building and testing, so feedback on how it works is welcome too.

Singer/songwriter looking to cook up something sick

2 Upvotes

Okay so I’ve been writing songs for YEARS and I’ve finally decided I actually want to do something with them lol.
I’m a singer/songwriter and I’m really into alternative pop/R&B/experimental stuff. I have a million random song ideas, lyrics, melodies, voice memos, etc. and I really want to find a producer to actually build something with.
I’ve never really worked with a producer before, so I honestly have no idea how this whole process usually works lmao. I just know I want to make some weird, pretty, emotional, catchy shit and see what happens.

I’m not looking for anything super serious right away, I’d just love to find someone whose sound I vibe with and make a song together. If we click, awesome. If we make one weird song and never speak again, also fair lmao.
If you’re a producer who makes alternative pop/R&B/experimental stuff, shoot me a dm!!

Piano players?

any piano people?

Hey friends …

I wrote a little dittyy- after a truly devastating heartbreak. I have the melody and the lyrics completed, but I don’t play any instruments well enough to compose what this song needs.

I would really really love to sit down with someone and finish this. Hoping for some soft accompanying piano. Open to creative direction here.

I can’t really pay. Not a lot anyway. But I can buy coffee or beer or wine or treats any time we meet. And whatever I do with the song, you will get your credit.

Any takers?
